One 'smart' Cookie!!



I think Brooke has no choice but to get smart-QUICK!! Maybe she can be enrolled in Kindergarten early!! She is going to be extra 'advanced' with the loving help of her brothers!! Brandon asked me the other day if he could read Brooke a story--so we set them up on the couch he 'read' her several books. It was so cute, Brooke sat there quietly and acted as though she was really paying attention. Brandon was very impressed with how quietly she sat. She sat and listened and looked and the pictures and was a great audience for Brandon.


Then Tyler was practicing his numbers last night and I came in from getting Emily's pajamas on and I found Brooke on the poof pillow with her little stash of flash cards. Tyler then informed me that he was teaching Brooke her numbers and they were playing a game together!! I think Brooke 'minds/listens' better than Brandon, Kara, or Emily. Tyler was having a BLAST with Brooke and she was even smiling away as he handed her cards. Tyler thought it was pretty cool. Brooke is going to be one smart little cookie if she is soaking this ALL in!! Maybe she can 'fill up' with all this 'smart stuff', instead of their 'bad little habits!' Keep it up boys!!


Learning can be FUN!!


Just LOVE her expression!!


One more--just because I love her in this cute little sweater!!
