Our little Violet is amazing! She listens to EVERYTHING going on around her even when she is talking non-stop to herself. I had not realized how "in tune" to life she was until one day we were just sitting on the floor playing and she stopped what she was doing, grabbed the Washington State University t-shirt I was wearing and started pointing to letters saying...
"A" says a...
"S" says ssssssssss...
"T" says t
"R" says rrrr...thats your letter mommy!
Since then, when ever we are in the car driving around she points at signs and says the sounds of the letters! The amazing thing is, we have done nothing to teach her letters or sounds because we have been working SO hard with Tage to get him reading (and it has not been easy). She has picked up on all of this by hearing the lessons and books and letter bingo indirectly! Thank God for second, third and fourth children! I am so delighted to know that we are paving the way for them all! Violet is also constantly telling me what day of the week it is...which is good because sometimes I wake up a few days behind, and she also reminds me often that it has been awhile since anyone has ate or since I have changed Ben's diaper! She is a lot of help:) Her favorite past-time besides talking and singing, is lining anything up in a straight and orderly fashion. She is also quite a little whiz at puzzles and does them often. I know it is typical of parents to brag about their kids, but I thought it would be ok since this is my blog and a lot of you grandparents and friends don't get the privilege of seeing and hearing these guys on a daily basis. They are a real hoot...a true blessing from GOD!
