Reading genius, precocious composer

I am bursting with maternal pride tonight!  We had conferences with the kids' teachers today, and both received lots of praise.  Alex's teacher, Ms. Carol, shared with us the results from a reading assessment given to Alex, who is in 4th grade and just turned 10.  He scored a reading comprehension grade level of 12.9+!  We were amazed!  The joke is that he'll start college classes this summer.
 
Then, at home tonight, Fiona picked out an original melody on the piano.  I wrote it down and created a simple harmony for it.  It's really a charming melody--I'd love to here it in a music box.  She then made up lyrics for it, too.
 
Brilliant, creative kids!  Lucky parents!
