One Smart Cookie

Last night for family night, Justin had the girls write down what they love in the world and what they love at church. Mia drew a picture of her and Landon holding hands with a thought bubble above her head with a heart in it. Then she said she likes to sing "Follow the Prophet" at church. On the other side of the paper she started to write "MOS S WS A PR" which translates to Moses was a Prophet. She was adorable trying to slowly sound out each word as she wrote. I was amazed at my little four year-old.
So today I decided to see what she could do. I wrote a sentence on her white board and she slowly read "I am sad." Then "I am mad. Mia is glad. Mia is on top." Wow. We picked out several books to read together. I showed her the first one and she read "The fat cat sat on the mat." She doesn't recognize "the" yet, but it made the most sense so she figured that was what it had to be. I am so proud of my little girl!
