Oh yeah, she loves to learn. Like I said, books are one of her favorite things. Along with that goes reading words. I show her flash cards with pictures and she can read. I have been showing her words since she was born, actually. It&#8217;s so beneficial for kids development. It helps create more pathways in the brain and encourages learning like crazy&#8230;that&#8217;s just one benefit. But here are the words she can say or act out by reading without any help by me.<\/div>\n<div>     Wave, hi, dog, touch your toes, touch your ears, touch your head, ball, nose, feet, hands, sitting, mouth, teeth, duck, tongue, fingers, arms up, and I know there are more but I can&#8217;t remember. It&#8217;s amazing to see her look at the word then smile and do the motion, point to her body, or say the word. Kids are smart!<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-xwCfxBEDTYw\/TzxWluDBJkI\/AAAAAAAAA3c\/PvAFtqJWlwc\/s1600\/IMG_1127.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/fitsteph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_1127.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709533633614784066\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>We also work on Bible verses. She knows John 3:16 and Jeremiah 33:3. We just started working on the books of the Bible in order. It&#8217;s exciting because I am memorizing these things too. haha. You know how you forget things. I am excited to continue re-learning them. Also, I am involving her with cooking. I keep showing her things I do and let her help as much as she can. She enjoys helping me. We do lots of things together honestly, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We don&#8217;t watch TV during the day so we just trot along and continue working\/learning new things. <\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-KToXAW9BruI\/TzxWlTLuaSI\/AAAAAAAAA3Q\/HzQbsqN8GaY\/s1600\/IMG_1044.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/fitsteph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_1044.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709533626403547426\" \/><\/a>What a little bundle of joy!
