Student Beebster

My Beebster just loves to learn new things all the time.

She's really picking up on her number and letter recognition, counting to 20, learning to count by 10's to 100, and even writing her name almost perfectly and some other numbers and letters. Maddie was doing these things at 3 1/2, and I think that it helps a lot that Maddie loves to "teach" Faith things in the early mornings when they are awake and playing and at night when they sit together on the bottom bunk and chat. It's really cute, and Faith gets so proud of herself. She's funny too in that she loves the things that I come up with to help her remember things. I told her that 15 is smelly from not taking a shower, and she'll point to "him" on her number chart and say "oh 15... you need a BATH!" She says 6 loves "eggscream" (as in ice cream), 16 is going to the beach, 17 has long hair, and all the 'teens' are the "big brothers" of the single digits.

I can tell that she wants to do things earlier because of wanting to do everything that her Maddie does. She has been wanting to know how to spell her name for awhile now, and actually can write it pretty well now.
