Yesterday at dinner Rylee pronounced the word "Cumbersome". Not sure she even knew that cumbersome was, in fact, a real word, I asked her "Rylee did you know that is really a word?" To which she insisted "Yesss." So I said, "Well, do you know what it means?" She replied confidently "It means hard to handle." We laughed and were blown away that her definition was more accurate than the one word definition I was going to give her (difficult)! She then explained she learned this from Word Girl on PBSkids.org. We love being surprised by Rylee's intellect!

Thanks for the update! You gotta love the things kids say that put a smile on your face. While Rylee is learning words like “cumbersome,” Emma is learning things like “what in tarnation.” I guess we need to work on building a better vocabulary for our girls. Well keep the posts coming, we love to see what is going on in NC.
What a smart little girl!
I just told Jeff this story and he did a spit take. Go Rylee! I'm pretty sure her amazing preschool has helped her become a genius. We miss you guys!
Wow, I'm impressed! Go Rylee!
