Intellectual Breakthrough!

Ok, I'm really excited about this and I'm acting like my kid is the next Einstein. But really, I thought this was a little over the top. We've been doing a lot of coloring, writing names, telling her colors, etc. But nothing has really been sinking in. Today, Lauren picked up one of her drawing boards and drew a large circle, a really good one too! Then she came and got me and showed me the "apple"....every circle is an apple. But then she put 2 dots where eyes would be and drew an upside down mouth.....and then said "sad". I was pretty excited and told her "good job!" enthusiastically. Then she drew a right side up mouth and said "happy"! I was beaming! There were lots of cheers. She ran over and gave me hug and was VERY proud of herself as well. I realize as I'm writing this, that it's not as exciting as in person and may not be "blog" worthy....but it's a BIG accomplishment and I'm very proud of her! So I needed to share.

Sorry no picture....it was on her coloring board that uses the water filled markers that disappear and by the time I got the camera, the fireplace has it so toasty in here that it had dried up!
