It has been far too long since I have written on here. I'm working on some pieces that I hopefully will be able to get published eventually, so my blog has been put on the back burner. So much has been happening with my daughter that I would have enough material to write on her at least twice a week, but I just don't have the time! However, a very exciting moment this morning prompted me to get back on :)
My daughter knows Itsy Bitsy Spider! She has seen in on Barney and I've sang along with the motions a few times, but I still didn't think she'd pick it up so fast. Even when she knows how to do something, she's very selective on when she chooses to actually do it. This morning she did the "itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout" motion during the song! It was amazing to see and whenever my husband or I would say "Itsy bitsy spider..." she would start doing the motion. Obviously, seeing as how she's only just a year old, the motion is not exact but it's pretty darn exciting to see :) Love our smart baby girl!
Children are capable of so much more than we, as a society, give them credit for. They understand most of what is said to them and what is going on around them early on, even though they can't tell us in words.
