Brain Growth

It's like you can see the neurons connecting every day. As she's coloring a picture of a zebra in her coloring book, she spontaneously says "zebra". I didn't tell her that's what it was. At the mall there were a line of brightly colored chairs. She runs up, slaps the blue chair and says "blue". Lucky guess I think to myself- until she runs to the orange one and says "orange". Crazy!!  The stuff she picks up on and remembers blows my mind. I LOVE watching this happen. 

The other big news was a pee and poop on the potty because she told us she had to go. Over thanksgiving she told Maymay and me that she had to potty so we went in and she did it. SO happy about that one!! Since then she's pooped on the potty again and every day we have to sit on the potty and try-that's her doing not mine. And I read "Potty" the book about 10 times and she pretends she's dumping out her little pot into the toilet. We are certainly on our way.

Thanksgiving was great. Family time with Maymay, Boppa, Booboo, and Al was very fun and relaxing. Another generation of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has come along...Frannie loved the balloons (and even some of the Broadway singing and dancing). We went to get our tree and then to see the Bentleyville lights too. Really, really fun. Frannie enjoyed the lights and all the peole....and the best part was that it wasn't totally freezing like last year.
