5yo comments

So, she's not 4 anymore, but she hasn't stopped with the comments.

We are reading. Well, actually, she's reading to me from an early reader book. I decide to take the opportunity to show her a few things about the mechanics of the sentence. I point out that the He is capitalized, and explain why. "yes, that's interesting," she says. And I talk about how the letters at the beginning of each sentence are capitalized. Then I move to the end of the sentence and point to the dot. I begin "Do you see the dot at the end of the sentence?" To which she replies, "yes, that's called punctuation." what? I can't believe she already knows the word!!?? That's what I get for sitting her down in front of educational DVDs... Maybe I should buy some of those Teaching Company DVDs. Then she'll know everything by the time she's 10.
