Learning Lab


This child has become like a learning laboratory every minute. She doesn’t want you to hand her something; she wants you to hand her something and tell her its name. She doesn’t want to read a story; she wants to point to things in the book and tell you what they are. She doesn’t even want to eat; she wants to raise each piece of food in the air so that you can tell her it’s a bean or corn or whatever. She is supremely interested in everything around her. It’s kind of unbelievable how fast she learns things. Her favorite new words are octopus, your welcome, Julia (the little girl in her class), and yellow. Oh and did I mention that she sings Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star from start to finish. It’s craziness. Where did this little person come from? And where has my sweet baby gone?

Isn't this just the most exciting time?! Not a day goes by when you're not completely floored by something that she says or does. I used to say that you filled me with "wonder." And now you're experiencing the same things... you "wonder" what's going through her head, and what she'll come up with next, where the sweet baby went and, ultimately, how she became such wonderful woman.

Love,
Dad

And she's so advanced she's learning to drive a car! Let's hope she never looses her thirst for learning! How about a video of her singing as a future blog?

Wish I could see you guys more often. I hate missing all this!

Well of course she's amazing look at her parents. Every new day is a new learning experience and everything in her world is new and exciting. I can't wait to share some precious moments with her. We miss her everyday and plan to steal her away for a week this summer. I think you and Luke need a vacation.
Love Grandma
