FABJ has dramatically improved her reading. Now ORBJ is eagerly awaiting her chance to start readhing. Yesterday, after dinner, FABJ was doing her reading for school. She was stuck on a sentence that read something like this: "I want you to help me ... c ... c ...," and pauses. ORBJ chimes in "clean", which is exactly right.
However, her amazing feats were short lived, as I asked her "what's 2 plus 1?" and she replied "1".
More generally, she has become quite the comedian. She loves to wind her sister up. And she likes to flash the "evil grin" as we call it.
Here's an example:
The kids and LBJ baked chocolate chip cookies over the weekend. The girls knew that they could have a cookie for dessert if they finished their dinner. FABJ asks for her cookie. ORBJ pipes up "but you haven't finished your dinner," and she flashed the evil grin. FABJ had the tiniest of scraps left on her plate, so her face was stricken with fear that she might not get her cookie.
We told her not to worry, that her sister was just winding her up. She whined in response, "Why does ORBJ wind me up?"
"How can you tell?"
"When she has that evil grin, you know that she's winding you up."
FABJ looks at ORBJ's evil grin and puts on a big pout, looking like she's about to cry.
Ah, we are not looking forward to the teenage years with the drama queen and the mischevious one.
