Smarty Pants

This evening while sitting on a very comfy bean bag chair in Joey's room I decided to add teacher to my job description, and I quizzed Jenna with one of his learning toys.  I was pleasantly surprised and ashamed all at the same time!  I was shocked at how much she already knew, and ashamed because I have not exactly worked with her as often as I should!  I couldn't help but think that all the hours she has spent watching Team Umizoomi had paid off!! 

We started with the numbers and I showed her each number (not in order) and she named all the numbers 1-11 without a mistake!  Then I did the colors and she knew all of those as well.  Then I did the shapes and she named them all including Octagon, Pentagon and Trapezoid!  (and of course the circle, oval, triangle, rectangle, square, star, diamond)  I couldn't believe it!  We point out shapes while we are out and about but I have never actually sat down and showed her the shapes and what they are called! 

The conclusion that I have drawn is that she mush take after her Mother, so that means she's a genius!  ;)  As a Mom it feels great to realize that my kids are intelligent little creature's and I am positive the best is yet to come!!

Here is my cute little smarty pants...
