Watching e learn new skills is fun. Yesterday I saw her thumb through a book page by page, no little feat for a youngster. She is learning to count; I think it's just learning the words more than actually counting individual items, though she does seem able to count two or three things. She recognizes many letters and shapes, and her vocabulary is very large.
Just now I'm watching as she tries to reach her yellow bear that she tossed out of her crib. She reaches over the side of the crib, but of course she can't reach it. She lies down and reaches through the side, first with one arm then the other, but still she can't reach. She calls for her mom to come help, but no success with that either. Fortunately she is in a good mood, chatting to herself. Since she's been in bed nearly an hour without falling asleep I will probably get her up soon. Within a couple of weeks E hopes to have window coverings in e's room; perhaps having a darker room will help with naps.
Yesterday she used a glue stick to make a chain from red and green paper strips left over from an Advent festival many years ago. I don't expect to save it after this season; the same is true of other decorations from the past.
