It is fun to hear the ways my kids are growing up. The development of language is so quick. Bentley can identify animals as we are out walking or driving. She may not be able to pronounce their names perfectly, but we can definitely tell what she is saying. Sometimes she even makes their sounds, but she is a lot better at making their sounds when we ask her what a certain animal says. Bentley also really loves Bria and says her name all the time. Right now she is only able to say “Bia”.
Bria on the other hand, is learning all kinds of things and is always communicating them to us. She asks questions about things like momentum and says words like hypothesis. Spelling is one thing that has always been interesting to her. One day on the paper she was writing on were the letters “UV”. She proceeded to tell me that it was the word “of” that she had sounded out. Obviously, that is not the word “of”, but when you sound it out those would be the letters that make sense. We have been working on letter sounds for a while, and she has been trying to sound out words and spell them for some time too; but for some reason that day just seemed to make her more grown up.
Yesterday, Bria had a child development screening (the same as pre-kindergarten screening). The people who did the tests were impressed, and said that she could hold a nice conversation. Even though Bria is not old enough for kindergarten this fall, the screening showed that she would be ready if she could go. We are glad that she is doing so well. Honestly, she is easy to teach because she is so curious about learning.
The sounds in our house never stop. I hope that it continues to mean that the girls are learning new and exciting things.
