"I can spell all the words in town!"

Goaded on by her brother's academic prowess, Cady Gray has been eagerly touting the addition, subtraction, and spelling facts that she knows. Here's a list of words she spelled for me today, four weeks shy of her fourth birthday:

house
water
dress
raindrop
hair
pillow
pants
shirt
bubble

but not: soap. (She tried s-o-u, got uncertain, and then asked for another word. When I tried to tell her the right spelling for soap , she cut me off: "I'll just learn that in school when I go to first grade.")
