"W"

My mom has done something really fun: writing little books for Nia (and the other grandkids) that start with different letters of the alphabet. They were trying to think of words that started with "W" and Nia's comment was "We can't use "W" because it starts with a "D"." (Double U). She's so funny.

On a slightly different note, we had Nia's parent-teacher conference on Thursday and she got a glowing report. Her teacher said she is the one of the most balanced little people she has ever known and is a perfect example of the early entrance program (Nia's birthday is after the cut-off date for entrance but they have an early entrance test that kids can take (if their birthday is within 45 days of the cut-off) to get in - they have to score a 60 to be able to be accepted and Nia scored a 98). Nia's teacher said that she was the excelling in math and doing great with reading - she expects that Nia will have progressed farther than what they expect them to by the end of the year. In any case, it was just so nice to hear that her teacher really recognized and appreciated the specialness about Nia. My little sunshine girl is a one of a kind.
