Genevieve reads short vowel one syllable words. Words like jump, silk, send. Without difficulty. This isn't really an amazing concept, except that no one has bothered to teach her to read. Just like no one really taught her to write.
She does startle me sometimes. Today we were watching the plumbing guy dig in our back yard with his back hoe though her bedroom window. There were chunks of concrete from him cutting and busting up part of our back patio. There was a muddy trench with tree roots and pipes that would be replaced. It's was noisy and messy and ugly and Genevieve pointed and said, "Look! A butterfly!"
