Little Prodigy!

The first video, she calls to me, “mom! I’m playing Twinkle Twinkle!” so I come over to record it. Then after that, I notice that there are numbers above the keys on her little piano, so then I helped her do the rest, according to the numbered keys & she did great! Plus, I Love how she notices when she hits the wrong note! By ear! So awesome! You should have seen Jake’s face when he came home that evening & I showed him this video! He was SO Proud!

Well, Diella had come out of the Terrible Two’s for a few months there, and we were loving it! It seems as though she’s re-entered them a bit. We’re praying it fades fast!

But anyway, she’s still doing smart & hilarious things of course! Like we went over a rumble strip the other day, and she said she thought the car tooted. HAHA!

I’ve blogged before how she was naming the colors of the outfits that some of the characters on her favorite shows wear. Well we did this again for a few newer shows that she likes, and I’m just amazed because we do it in the car, and when I ask… “what color is… Millie?” … and she thinks, and then answers. Its neat for me to think that she’s going through her memory, recalling the show, picturing the character, and remembering and saying the description!

The other day, out of nowhere, she said, “B says Buh.” We haven’t gone over the sounds each letter makes very often at all. So then I was even more surprised when I then further tested her, and she got quite a few right! There were some that she didn’t know… but knowing that we haven’t gone over them repeatedly, she was just thinking hard, and concluding the right answer, not just doing it from memory!

Its funny when this lil girl tries to be a parent to me & Jake. Once I expressed that I wanted something to hurry up, probly in traffic or something, and she said, “you just gotta be patient.” Ha! … and another time I showed that I was a little upset over something, and she tells me, “you gotta calm down.” … sigh*

One night we were driving home from Chi Alpha, we had to bring the kids with us that week. And Diella rattled off every single thing that she did that night. It was hilarious, cuz it was like this one long, one-breath run-on sentence. “tonight was so fun! We played basketball, and danced to the music, and I played with Robin, and Ashley, and Courtney! And I ran around, and played with Ethan, and…. Etc, etc. etc.”

We were driving the other day, and she said “look, and eagle!” I’m thinking, “in the sky? Naw aw.” So I look out, don’t see one. I ask her where? She’s said, there on the house. And there was a decoration on the front door, an eagle. And she said, “just like Giant Eagle.” Hhaha!

She’s learning the coolest things! Like, she knows who’s MY mom and dad. I say who’s MY mom, she says Ahna. And MY dad, Papa. Cool! The sister’s & brothers & husband thing are all hard. We’ll do em someday.

And the coolest thing! She knows her address! I only went over it maybe 3 or 4 times, in one day… and know she knows it Any time I ask her! Woo!!!
