Malia is doing really well with her reading. Remember how when she was learning to talk she would contemplate a new word and perfect it before saying it to anyone? Well, it was a personality trait. She is very similar with her reading. She finds reading to us or "performing" on the spot a little flustering. But you put words up on the board and she'll sound them out on her own time and come to you with the word once she believes she has it right. She can do 3 letter words, and many 4 letter words with simple phoentics. She is learning her compound sounds now, and some of the more complicated rules. Some words don't really follow the rules she knows, and she finds this quite annoying. The girl is soaring in Math- especially with story problems. I think she will love math based brain teasers as she grows.
Eliana seems to have moved past her Snow White obsession. She is back to your basic fairy obsession. The girl just love fairies and all things enchanting. Eliana, and all the girls are in love with rainbows and anything "rainbow colored".
Right now they love Legos, fairies, rainbows, dinosaurs, their "snap dolls", and playing computer games on the computer. Their favorite foods are berries without a doubt, with blueberries being at the top of the list. Girls after their Uncle Zach's heart.
Sasha is finally finding her place within their little unit, and they are playing for a few hours at a time without conflict. I was worried for awhile, so I'm very happy to see her becoming a part of the sibling unit and playtime.
