Political Awareness

Jonathan was watching the Jib Jab video about the presidential campaign and, it being musical and silly, Elena wanted to watch, too. Halfway through she says "That is Rock Obama!" We were both surprised. Jonathan looked at me with a look that said "did you teach her that?" and I looked as stunned as he did. We're really not sure where she picked that up, but I guess his youth appeal is even broader than we thought.

In other Elena news, when we went to the OB, today, she started sounding out the words on the sign outside the office door. "Ss-st-stuh daa-aa-vuh-vih-buh-suh" -- St. David's (digital mammography). She's done this a couple of times, but usually her attempts add a lot of extra/nonrelated sounds.

Yeah we were surprised when Keely knew who Obama was. Amazing how aware and observant these kiddos are!!! Sounds like she's ready to read!
