Along comes the video of the 17 month old who can read. Geez. I thought we were doing good because my kids can read their names, the word stop and the word welcome (a new one from this weekend). Hope they never have to face this kid in class.
Part of me thinks that is cool, but another part of me thinks it's creepy. I just felt weirded out when I was watching her read the words. Jonathan recognizes his name and a few other basic words and I think I am totally OK with that for now!
I wanted to add to my comment to clarify--I don't think the little girl is weird, it just looked so strange to me to hear those words coming out of such a young child's mouth! Just didn't want anyone to take that the wrong way...
I call shenanigans! SUPPOSEDLY the Today show producers came up with a "random" list of words for that little girl to read, but "kangaroo" was on a list that the mommy gave her in taped-at-home clip! Shenanigans! Shenanigans!
I'm sun and rain, fire and ice, a little crazy but it's nice...I wear many hats, sometimes all at once. Busy is the way I like it. I'm raising two brilliant children who couldn't be more different- my practical, intelligent, rule abiding karate kid son and my charming, spacy, hippie dance diva daughter. Divorced from one of the most selfish men on earth. Sports nut, Mountaineer fan, former athlete, terrible singer, shoe hoarder, domestic nondiva.

It might be private but the blog "chasing proverbs" linked to my blog shows baby Eleanor doing the same thing! AMAZING!

So I have normal kids. Is there anything wrong with THAT??....
:-)
I used that clip to prove to my parents that I was not crazy for teaching Lydia to sign!
I just want my kid to be treated normal so I am going to post videos of her everywhere and put her on every TV show I can.
I call shenanigans as well. That kid spends at least 8 hours a day in some dungeon with her mom forcing her to read so the Mom can live through her.
