Looks like you have a future English major.
Cute!
Ha! Excellent. Even I can't remember the difference between "lay" and "lie" and I WAS an English major.
Gargantuan.
I am seriously impressed.
I sanction bragging about kids every day. Always brings a smile.
omg, genius! seriously. but also teh cute.
You've just got to love a kid who loves words. Wonderful!
Adorable!
I love her name!
My almost four and a half year old corrects my grammar all the time, but she's usually wrong.
She's a budding genius!
She is totally brilliant.
See? Smart little monkey. I am very proud.
that's one smart girl you have there. and a post in the form of a report card? I may have to steal that for a future Monday Mission
Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon she will be rolling her eyes and correcting the grammatical response to stubbing your toe.
"Rhymes with abandon" totally cracked me up! Methinks your daughter may have inherited her sense of humor from you (not to mention her brains).
Brag away! I am truly impressed...!
Nice! Gargantuan. Very very nice.
There is a rhyming game in the Jump Start World, if you care for that sort of thing. Monkey plays that sometimes.
Mine started correcting my English prononciation. Hi-larious and predictable, since she has musical ear and I have an accent. She isn't being mean-- it's because she herself is just learning all these words that sound similar but not the same, except I can't always pull off the not the same part.
OMG, Miss M would have a field day with me! Too cute.
Cute!
Wow. She is a smart little gal.
I would totally brag about all those things too.
Wow! Smart cookie!
What a smart little lady you've got there! You deserve to brag and be proud!
The English teacher I am just shed a little tear of delight!
