Our Little Einstein

I take no credit for this, but Makayla is so smart it really does amaze me.
Today she started calling out the names of letters and we caught it on tape...or digital pixels...anyway, Rebekah says that she hasn't spent much time with her on it. She thinks the credit should go to Makayla's new favorite show called "Super Why". It's supposed to teach kids how to read - so I guess it's working.
Still, it's pretty impressive for a two-year-old.

That is hilarious! Wow! She is einstein! That show totally rocks. Grant started writing the letters since watching it. It is amazing to me how much he has learned just from that show.

I am SOOOO impressed!! What is SUPER WHY and can 10 month old watch??? Boy, do I sound like mom of the year or what?

Rebekah said...

No worries, its a pretty new show (I think). We just discovered it a few weeks ago. I'm sure BF would like it. Brynley will watch for a little while, but then will lose interest, but she's not really much of a TV watcher. Its on PBS (KERA), but I think it comes on at different times in the morning throughout the week. We've just season passed it on our TIVO, so we have a bunch of them (and yes, I did just make up the phrase "season passed it". :) Since Jaron did this wonderful post, I will take this opportunity to say what a proud mama I am right now. I know lots of people say they have genius children, but how many can PROVE it??? haha, TOTALLy kidding. :)

Also, I didn't catch it at first, but the last thing she said was "hook!". :)

Jaron said...

If only I had more "brians".

Kristina said...

I am such a proud Aunt!!! She is SO smart and SO adorable! Way to go Makayla. It's so cute how she says, "More". She likes to learn! Thanks for sharing this with everyone Jaron. I bet you two are so proud of your little genius daughter!

Awesome clip... gotta check out that show now. I'm beginning to think my kids are going to be in that "special class". Nahh... just kidding, their smart like der daddy. And yes... I meant to spell their wrong to make it funny... also, started this sentence with And which is also not good (or is it well?).

Unknown said...

That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Definitely keep that video for the wedding video. :) She is a for sure genius...and comedian might I add.

What's sad is I still have kindergarteners calling Js "hooks" and lowercase ls "one." Funny on a two year-old, not so much on a five year-old. Hence, we watched Super Why this morning in kindergarten. They loved it! Thanks for the recommendation!

Kyla said...

Wow. She IS a genius! How old is she again? I think it makes her even smarter that she called the 'J' a hook. I mean, of course it is! That was priceless! She is sooo cute!

Becky said...

That is so cute! What a smartie!!! I think I'll "season passed it" myself...but I'll probably wait until Maggie is a little older. :o)

Meg McLawhon said...

Oh my gosh, "MORE LETTERS!!!" I have been trying to watch this for days, but my computer was messy... That is SO ADORABLE! I love that lal the hard ones were PERFECT right up until the J... you could even almost see her little mind processing it. SO SMART!!!"

I don't even know if you check this post anymore but I found the original email in my junk mail today. So I checked it and OH MY GOODNESS! That is so great! I laughed out loud so hard at the end. I'm going to have to check out "Super Why." She's a smarty!
