This week..
-- I continue to be in aw of these kid's growth and development. Cal has few words, but he can easily follow commands and is quick to mimic what he observes others do. Elle's language skills are fascinating to me. She frequently wants to engage with us by being the teacher and composes spontaneous stories. Tonight, she had multiple photo pages that fell out of a book that she made in to a whole lesson. She is an absolute natural - she asks questions of the students. She refers back to previous teachings. She remembers all the attention-techniques of her church and preschool teachers ("raise your hand if..") and all the discipline ("please raise your hand to speak"). You can even hear the "teacher" in the tone/inflection of her voice. They flip from the best of friends to testy siblings and back every few minutes. Elle loves to show Cal how to use the playground but is quick to push him out of the playroom because "he'll mess everything up!" They continue to trade daycare germs but this wasn't the worst week of sleep or coughs or noses.
