rhuAlissa had one of those multiple-new-neuron bursts this week. She's counting to fifty now, and getting appropriately confused each decade. "Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, um, you can't say twenty-ten, um, what's next?" "Thirty, dear." "Firty-what?" "Just thirty, then thirty-one..." "OH! Firty, firty-one, firty-two...."
Last night at dinner she spontaneously started telling us about the Torah portion for the week, all about Hashem telling Abraham to leave his home and family and go to Israel. She and Tani got into an argumet over whether Abraham was riding a camel or a horse.
Also, she announced at dinner tonight that "'Redcoat' is a squished-together word! It's two words, 'red' and 'coat', squished together into one!" She's using bigger words ("metamorphosis", "photosynthesis") and more complex sentence structures, and she's trying to spell simple words (car, net, etc.) Yay!
Meanwhile, Tani has gone from insisting that he can't read to, um, reading! Each night he's getting faster and more accurate. Over four nights he made it all the way through The Wish-for Dinosaur, and when he was done, he spontaneously started singing Shehecheyanu (the bracha you make over "firsts"). Whoo-hoo!
