Sierra: "I want time by myself."

Reid: "But I want to be with Sierra!"

S, in tears: "I've been with him my whole life! I just need a break!"

me: "were you guys nice to each other on the long car ride?"

Reid: "yea! we didn't say 'you're a punk!'..."no, you're a punk!"..."you're a punk!" (while making a mean face and pointing his finger back and forth)

(Overheard in the backseat):

Reid, to Sierra: "I'm going to shrink myself and go in your ear to your brain so I can know what you're thinking!"

Playing "would you rather"...

Reid: "would you rather be honey or a bee?

Reid: "I'd rather be honey so I can slither out of here!"

Doing math word problems in the car with Sierra. Then Reid takes a turn and says "If there are 10 cars and 10 trees...how much do the monkeys get?" (Heehee, sweet boy!)

Sierra is reading!

About a month ago, it all really clicked and her reading progress took off! She is reading fluidly, no longer in the slow "robotic" monotone-sound-out-every-letter way. She's even reading chapter books :) It's amazing to witness!

She loves reading to her brothers and by herself quietly. After we close her door at bedtime, she stays up reading for at least 30min before going to sleep.

Yesterday we were in the car for a long time in the afternoon...both boys fell asleep. I never heard a peep from Sierra because she had her nose in a book the whole hour! And a chapter book, at that!

So so proud of her big accomplishment!
