What is Brianna saying?

While she still doesn't talk around other people a whole lot, she is exploding in words around us at home. Some of her favorites:
Mommy, help!
More, please
Again! Mommy, AGAIN!!!!
Dora (or Elmo or Barney), Please
Press play!!
Puzzle
Nice Kitty

But of course at this point there is way more than what I can possibly remember. She talked later than Kaitlyn but it is SO nice that she is finally conversing with us, we can understand more and more what she wants with less guessing, and I just LOVE it!!

She has also taken to singing (her own version of) Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It goes something like this:
Winkle, winkle staaah
How I wun er ow oo aaaaah
Up 'bove wo hiiiii
Like dine da sky
Winkle, winkle staaaah
How I wun er ow oo aaaaah

Kaitlyn's first report card and QA with Brianna

Part 1: The report card!
Today we received a "report card" from Kaitlyn's preschool class. I am so proud of her, and of course as with any 3 (almost 4) year old, there are things to work on.

Things she can do:
Write her own name (sometimes she does it backwards though lol)
Follows the dots (they do dots to trace letters)
Counts to 30
Recognizes many numbers by sight
Sings and says her ABC's
Recognizes ALL letters on sight
Knows all the basic shapes
Uses (kiddie) scissors correctly (and is apparently the best in her class)
Knows all her colors

and they did not mention it, I don't know if they know, but she can write words too, like cat and hat, or really any simple word you can help her sound out. As I type this I am also finding that she can write numbers on her own as well.

Things she needs to work on:
Staying still and being patient in lines (she gets "ants in her pants")
Picking up when asked
And general listening skills at times...which let's face it...she is almost 4 years old. Show me a 4 year old who always listens all the time. Pfsshhhhhh, yah right!

At the end they say that Kaitlyn is a smart, inquisitive kid who makes them laugh. I'm so proud of her :-)
