Spicy Girl's Milestones

There's never been a question about Spicy Girl's desire to learn. She is head strong about most things, and thankfully, learning to do it "all by herself" is one of those things. She turned 4 a little over a month ago, and she has just blown us away. Now, I know, all our babies are smart, but let me just stand on my soap box right now. S.G. has known how to write her own name for quite some time now. But now she is on a writing spree. She wants to know how to spell everything. She writes with her markers, crayons and pencils. She spells things with her magnets on the refridgerator. No, she doesn't just know how to spell all these words by herself. She asks how to spell them.....then she spells them all by herself. Last week, she asked how to spell the word please. I wrote it on a piece of paper for her, and she went back and wrote it herself. Then she drew a picture of two people...one was asking, "please" and the other said, "no." She wrote these on her own. Several days later I asked her to write the word please by herself....she did. She can also spell Nana, Leo (from Little Einsteins), and no. She loves her craft table. We filled a box with stamps, stamp pads, scissors, markers, crayons, stickers, and she is going to town. She lets us know often that she has to do her homework. I hope she still gets that serious about it when she gets older, and has to do it!!
