Flora counted everything with a 2-3-8-1 — she said it so much I thought about changing my PIN code to it! But today counting finally clicked, and she surprised me by counting all the way from 1 to 10 without a hitch. A few weeks ago it was colors. One morning she pointed to five different markers in a row and correctly identified their color. We’re still working on the alphabet — she’s got all the letter sequences down but sometimes skips around. And she’s talking in long, full sentences now … practically paragraphs when she gets on a roll. And her attention span is lengthening. The kid who barely watched TV will now watch her new favorite show, My Neighbor Totoro, from beginning to end without a distraction. In swimming news, Flora jumped off the side of the pool and went under the water. When she popped back up she told Marty, “More, more!” And she can now get herself dressed, and unfortunately, undressed. I think she’s officially a pre-schooler!
Oh,my! Flora, you are growing up so fast!…and so smart!
We love you,
Papa & Amma
You go Girl!
