Tonight Julia said, "Can you believe all the stuff I'm doing?" A smile dangled from her words.

Like, READING! She's been totally sounding out words on bothStarfall and in books and putting them all together to read. Everything, everywhere, she's curious about what it says.

I guess it's a given that since she is using Starfall she's also USING THE COMPUTER. You know, sitting at it, using the mouse, clicking around. Navigating.

She's been WRITING words, sentences, and stories in her journal by sounding them out.

Of course you've already heard she can RIDE HER BIKE.

PLUS, there's a loose tooth in her mouth. Yes, I'm not even kidding.

Five and Julia really jive.
