Tia Mowry’s daughter Cairo is a fast learner! In a new interview, the actress revealed the “smart” 17-month-old already has a way with words and is on the fast track to reading.
While attending the "It’s A Wonderful Lifetime" Holiday Party, Tia, 41, explained why she believes Cairo will be reading fluently in no time. “She has flashcards with words,” the proud mom said. “We had the picture turned over so she could only see the word. There were all these different cards and I said, ‘Show me where baby is! Show me the baby.’ She turned over one card and was like, ‘Meh,’ and then she got really excited when she saw the word ‘baby.’ So she picked that one up and said, ‘Baby!’
The Sister, Sister star continued, “I was like, ‘Was that a coincidence that she noticed it was baby based on the word instead of the picture?’ We did it again and she picked up the word before seeing the picture!”
In addition to her smarts, Tia also gushed about Cairo’s general temperament. “She’s been like the best baby!” Unlike her big brother Creed, Cairo is laidback and calm. “She’s in her bed, puts herself to sleep from 7:30 to 7. She’s a freaking dream!” Tia added.

The former Cooking Channel star also shared how Creed, 8, was adjusting to life with this little sister. “He’s been amazing. My son is obsessed with her,” she said. “He loves her. I truly believe that he is her favorite person. Like when he comes into the room she’ll just start getting really excited and have a big smile on her face.”
“Looking back at my struggles with getting pregnant, I just see them two just play and mesh well together, it just puts a big smile on my face,"she added. “I’m very grateful.”
Tia shares both children with her husband Cory Hardrict and in September, she opened up to Us Weekly about adding to their family of four. “Some days I want to have another one, and then other days I’m like, ‘Are you crazy?’” she said at the time. “I was actually talking to one of my girlfriends and I was like, ‘You know what? I want to have another baby, is that crazy?’ Our pregnancies were really difficult, and she said, ‘Tia, yes — you are crazy. I know you love a challenge and that’s probably why you want another child, but go run a marathon or something! Focus that energy somewhere else.'”
