Breakthrough

I'm a little excited tonight. She did it! We've been talking about the alphabet, singing the song, you know the drill. Other than intense interest, I wouldn't think she was picking up a thing. And colors. Never has she seemed to care or recognize colors. But then...today! I ask her to point to the red flowers on a page in her storybook. She does! I say, "show me a blue flower." She does! We continue...her success isn't 100%, but she clearly gets it! And then, tonight in the bath, she's sticking foam letters and numbers to the side of the tub. I say, "Karis, where's the 'R'?" And she points to it! Then the "X"! Even the "4"! She has NEVER done anything like that before! All this time she's just listening, watching, learning. And I'm thinking, "what am I doing wrong? Why isn't she learning anything?" But she is! She's just processing it all first.

OK, so I'm a proud mama.
