Little Person

She's a little person. As in, we can have conversations, she can tell me what she needs and how she feels, and she can understand "if this, then this" (to a certain degree). It's awesome. She runs around the house talking, singing, and dancing, and when she goes to bed she lays in bed talking and singing to herself anywhere from 5-30 minutes. Her body and/or mouth is in constant motion.

I LOVE the new room she's in at school. They do more learning types of activities and with a smaller class and older kids, the teacher can process with her if she tried to do her little fit - which they (as it so happens) have stopped now that she's with older kids. She came home with this matching puzzle game thing and she did it; matching the shapes to their shadow. So cool to see and also was a great reminder how I could never homeschool her because it wouldn't have occurred to me to do that with her right now.....I'd be more likely to say,"let's go to Barnes and Noble for coffee".

She is still into counting and now she is naming everything's color. She gets better at this daily. Everything used to be blue or orange but now she can pretty much accurately name the right color. She can be quite the stubborn one though. This morning she pointed to a green basket and said blue and I'd correct her with green to which she'd repeatedly say "blue" until I just give up.

I just got rid of 5 or 6 pairs of pants cause they were too short. She took a 4.5 hour nap the other day (unheard of!) which I think was so she could grow another inch. She's reaching doorknobs and turning them now, where she wasn't even close before.

We had a fun Super Bowl at home. The three of us ate snacks and watched the game. She's really good at eating stuff we eat and she's a big fan of our homemade popcorn.
