Chick: Do you like the yucky part?
Me: Yes, I do.
Chick: You like yucky stuff, I like the good stuff. I don't like the yucky things. I don't like mushrooms. or dinner, sometimes.

One night she was not staying in her bed. I sternly told her to get back into bed. She (sternly, in the same tone as me) said, "YOU DON'T TALK TO BIG GIRLS LIKE THAT."

What a personality she has! Cutie pie!
So cute!! I'm impressed with her reading skills. How do you do it?
What a good idea to write all those down- you'll be so glad to have those bits of Chick wisdom recorded!
I love it. I am so bad about remembering to write this stuff down.
I love the one where she asks about the people in the car at the stoplight. My kids ask me that kind of stuff all the time. It's like they don't have a clue how limited our knowledge of everything really is. :o)
Kim-- Not that I'm any expert, but here's what we do:
emphasize phonics & the sound of the letter rather than the name of the letter
let her play on starfall.com
read to her
I got sandpaper letters & sometimes we play with those, or go through the sounds of the letters using those
We also have a fridge phonics set, but I'm not sure that's been all that helpful with any real learning--I think it's mostly just fun
Chick is chick, though. She's pretty self-motivated to learn new things. I don't know that Monkey will be an early reader...except that she likes to do what her sister is doing, so maybe she will just because of Chick?
Nikko-- LOL. I know. Really, just being a mom means that you know EVERYTHING?! Nice!
