Sierra’s Journey: Part One

 

When Sierra was only 9 months old she said her first coherent word.  She has never stopped talking since.  She has an enormous vocabulary.  I knew she had a genius hiding inside her tiny body.  Always bold, unafraid and still never gives up on anything, a true perfectionist.  I should have paid more attention to the question she answered with her first word but I was too shocked that she answered me.  We had just completed viewing and reading story books.  Sierra appeared disinterested.  I asked, “Don’t you want to read anymore?”  Sierra answered emphatically “NO”.
