Tooting Alexa's Horn

One of the things Emma's kindergarten worked on a few weeks ago was all the kids becoming "5 Star Generals." In order to receive your ribbon, you had to answer the following 5 questions:
What is:
1) Your Phone Number
2) Your Address
3) Your Birthday
4) The name of your school
5) Name 5 kids in your class
Emma got this pretty much the first day they worked on this. The surprising piece of this, is that Alexa, is now apparently also a 5-star general. She can now recite her phone number and address (the other 3 she already knew).

Alexa has apparently also received the puzzle gene from Arturo. She can put together a 48 piece puzzle with almost no guidance at all from us, and we haven't actually tried harder puzzles with her yet. She is so patient and doesn't look at the cover picture either. Here is a picture of her working on her puzzles (she is obsessed, will spend 40 minutes at a time working on puzzles, without a sound...). I think in about 10 years, I will find her and Arturo working on another 5000 piece puzzle together!
