Wow.

Sophie is growing so fast :)


Ahhh Jaiden.....
I was dropping something off to the front office of the school the other day when a teacher uttered the words i had never in my wildest dreams expected to hear "Your son Jaiden is so intellegent!" she said, to which i admit i faultered for a second then smiled.
Jaiden has always been a child to suddenly "click" with something, usually after a very long period (months or years) of staring at you blankly and not getting it at all.
For some wonderful reason this latest thing he has clicked with is reading.
Jaiden is reading better than any other student in kindy at his school. He learned to read, seemingly without being taught and in the space of about 2 weeks. I dont know how, or why or what brought this on, his teachers are as confused as me but all of a sudden he just started reading out things around him and he is now reading the same level books as his older brother! Its nothing short of a miricle.
His teacher did point out that he often doesnt know what he is reading, remember what he just read or get the context of the story, but those words are coming out of his mouth correctly and quickly.
now hoping for magic maths type understanding to match.
Hey Jai, if you have one apple and get another apple, how many do you have?
"Ummm... One apple, i love apples! can i have an apple?" lol.
