{6} Thankful

{6} Watching my daughter grow

I am so grateful to be a mom as I watch Ava grow and learn new things. Watching her learn to talk has been one of the most amazing things I have ever been a part of (probably has something to do with my degree, too :)). Now, apparently, I get to watch her imagination grow! I have never really seen her "imagine" things before unless we have been playing together. But last night in the bathtub, she told me there was a ladybug (which is pronounced "yay-gub"). I said, "really?" and she promptly showed me where "it" was in the water. I asked if she wanted to play with it, and she said, "yeah, eat it!" and started eating all the yay-gubs in the tub. So hilarious. I love watching her mind work!

Also yesterday, we decided to play "games" which consisted of me printing off various shapes from the computer. She matched them, named them, and told me what colors they were. I was very impressed at how quickly she learned! She kept wanting to play "games" all afternoon!
