3.1.11

This past month you have learned to pray....all by yourself. Tonight you said the prayer. You said, "thank you for mom. The best mom EVER. Thank you for daddy. The best dad EVER." Thanks for making me feel good. I'll have to remember that in 10 years when you're playing the silence game with me and rolling your eyes at me because we wouldn't let you take your cell phone on a family vacation. Actually more like we won't even give you a cell phone at age 13. Today you learned how to flick a spinner on a game. We were playing Chutes and Ladder. You were getting so frustrated that you couldn't get the thing to spin so with some demonstration, practice, and patience, you mastered it. You still don't get the rules of the game, but you can flick the spinner like a big girl.
The other day you cut a piece a paper and said, "look mom a triangle." It was a triangle. Although many times I wonder if you hear me, I'm learning that behind your distraction, you are learning and listening to things I teach you. You also love me reading to you everyday.
