She is delightful and intelligent and loves green crayons. Green is a color for people with a great sense of order and detail - which matches perfectly. Let her bask in her green and tell her letters to the world. ;) I have learned that there is no normal. She is delightful and intelligent and loves green crayons.

My mom used to teach preschool and she's taught my daughter tons of crazy songs. Wheels on the bus is the current fave. Oh, and the songs are enough to drive me batty!

Then he forgot all about them until this summer (now 4yrs) when my Sister started drilling them into his head to get ready for school. I love the photo of the sunset, what gorgeous light.

Everything was DSY. Flynt would see something and just demand that it said DSY. Now he shouts them out correctly. SAJ, don't be in too big a hurry to have her reading. One day, you'll be driving along on some grand vacation (like we were) and she'll look up at that billboard on the outskirts of some town and she'll say, "Mama, what's adult entertainment? And what are adult videos and toys? How are they different than MY toys?" You know, just speaking from experience. ;) For us the most recent set of letters were D, S, Y. Everything was DSY.

Our little bug demands that Daddy is yellow. Daddy does not like yellow, but since the 2 year old says it is his color, so it will be. And yellow always goes first when we play with our play-doh. I also wanted to say how I loved the sunset picture with the neon sign. What a great image! We went through that too. Our little bug demands that Daddy is yellow.

Another (extended) family member consistently chose the color green from infancy onward. His degree is in biology and he particularly enjoys reptiles. Celebrate the uniqueness of kids!

When it was her job to fix the table arrangement for a company dinner, she included her friends (baby snails) creeping up and down a gently curving spider lily leaf. She went on to Davis to major in microbiology Her brother "fixed" broken or hurt animals, now is an RN taking care of new babies with problems. Big sister taught her dollies in the playpen, went on to be a certified K-12 teacher. They were exposed to and encouraged to experience whatever matched their special interest. They "read" Wonder World, even Encyclopeida Britanica interspersed with trips to zoos, museums, libraries and just walks down the street. The daughter, who patiently strung tiny beads at 18 months now has a very successful custom dressmaking business. The baby, "organizer" runs a tight ship of four very active children, transporting and keeping them occupied. #1 is still #1 and involved in family dynamics.
