(please bare with me as I do some online journaling)

Can pick me out in a picture of my 8th grade class (we’re talking an image of me taken in 1993)

Can correctly sort shapes in her shape sorter toy (most of the time)

Turns everything into a phone and has long conversations with who knows who

Draws with crayons, not eats them

Sings the chorus to her favorite song to let us know she would like to hear it (ay di di lai di di lai di di lai di di leio)

Understands most of what I’m saying but sometimes ignores it

Likes to stretch with me on my yoga mat

Brings us a book when she feels like being read to

Makes a chomping sound when she would like a bite of food

Barks when we ask her what a doggy says

and the list goes on and on…
