Lily heard the highschool marching band playing from our bedroom window this evening. She disappeared for about 10 minutes and returned like this! Formerly, she was in something that resembled Pippi and pj’s. She indicated she was “Ready to go see what they were doing!”, and was quite disappointed when she learned that they’d […]
Singling Bowls
That’s what she thinks it is, anyway. Got this today for $.25 (yes, that was twenty-five cents) at the local thrift! Woohoo! Anyone care to take a gander at the amount of learning, discovery, and development is going on here? Lily has learned to click it, whack it with the mallet, and is trying to […]
Grids, Balls, Little Person, and Kitty Cats
Today, after getting what appeared to be a fairly decent night’s rest, Lily popped down for breakfast and started counting the fire makers (lighter sticks) in the package on the counter. She indicated, as she touched each, that there were a total of 5. Then she counted the ginger bread cookie cutters (4) and the […]

Musical Instrument Recognition
Just in the last week or two we’ve noticed Cecily picking out more and more of the instruments she hears in music, on tv, and various other sources. About 6 months ago, she surprised us one day by informing us of two of the prominent instruments used in a song she heard frequently while riding […]

Another???
She has a bit of Angie in her after all… the skiing backwards thing was my forte. Lily developed the ability to assess the amount of time she had to “prepare” between loading and unloading, on the way up the hill. After a few runs, I think her perception of the carpet ride was that […]
