Leia is amazing. Really. I am speechless. Just a few things she’s done lately that I don’t think many other 20mnth old babes can do:
Under/over/through – she’s got all that down to the tee – tells us when she wants to go under something, over something or when pushing something through something else. Correct. All the time. Spacial awereness. Tick.
Writing/Drawing – her pencil grip is 100%. Perfect. And she shows exact and complete control over her drawing/writing. She will make the smallest most intricate little scribbles and large, open and free flowing pictures. She loves her “little” writings the best though. Amazing concentration when she does it.
Talking and sequencing. Mimics EVERYTHING, but even better, uses it immediately in the correct sense and from then forward knows what a new word means and can re-use it. Picking up vocab at an astounding rate. Follows multi-part directions, e.g. Please go to the room, find Miya and tell her to come eat her berries…. She’d walk to Miya’s room and I’d hear: “Come Sussa. Eat. Berries. There.” … Also GIVES instructions – “Mommy. Fetch food there. Leia sit here.” (meaning I had to go fetch her food from her little table to come put it by our big table where she was sitting because she wanted to eat with us.). AND THEN without prompting, when I did it: “Thank you, Mommy!”
Around and around. Not sure what she was talking about that went around and around this afternoon, but she had her whole arm and hand waving in circles to illustrate that whatever it was was going around and around while saying “round and round”
And so on and so forth…..
