We are going down the stairs to let the doggies in and she yells "doggie" and as we go down the stairs, she gives me her hand and says "hand." Then she says "step" as she goes down the steps. When we get to the bottom she says "Shoe" as she goes to put on Daddy's shoe. Lots of new words and concepts.

The last page of "The Mitten" is red. The last page of "The Muffin" is green. She pointed to the green page and said "red" a couple of nights ago. I told her that was green and showed her the other book with the red page. Last night I read "The Muffin" to her again and when we got to the last page she pointed to it and said "Green." She will also ask for music sometimes when she goes to bed at night.

This is an amazing process to me, to get to see more clearly each day what kind of person is in there. She is very vibrant and can focus completely when she is engaged. It is like watching the actual wheels turning she is so deliberate. She has a great sense of humor, and a laugh that lights up her whole being. I guess having a daughter is like a marraige, you just keep getting more in love as you go through the years.
