lately we've noticed that olivia is growing up so quickly. suddenly she can read everything - it's very odd to go from 4 kids who can't read to suddenly have one kid that reads stuff on tv, at the store, on cereal boxes, on my computer screen, etc.
at bedtime tim reads a book to all the kids, then i usually put olivia to bed and read a chapter book to her. last night i went in to read some junie b jones to her. she already had the book out and she said to me, "mom, just a minute. let me finish this page, then i'll read to you." where did that come from??? and sure enough she could read it to me.
i think we'll have to make a trip to the library for some nancy drew books...that was my late night addiction - but i don't remember being 6 when i read them. mmm...
slow down olivia. you're growing up too fast!! but since you can read now, maybe you can keep your brothers busy and read to them :) thanks!

the other afternoon olivia got busy with a math book. she absolutely loves doing math problems and working with the number line my mom gave her. can we say a nerd? {yes, i realize she's like me!!}
so after a few hours of doing math, she says "i'm so excited!! when garrett is in kindergarten and HAS to to math i'm just going to sit on the couch and RELAX! it's going to be GREAT!!!!"
like i was making her sit there for hours and do math??
later at supper she started singing to herself "nationwide is on your side"...so perhaps an actuarial career is in her future :) or maybe she's just a nerd who watches too much tv??
