ABC's

As a first-time parent, EVERYTHING is new to us. We're learning right along with our little Zoe.   It's pretty amazing to watch her make connections, to grasp ideas, to soak up the world around her.

Right now, at age 27 months, she is reciting her ABC's. I had no idea kids pick up on this stuff so early.  We bought her a Fridge Phonics magnet set, which she wears out EVERY DAY.  But now, she sings along.  It's so fun to watch her push the button and sing along.  And she is recognizing the individual letters, too.  She grabs a "P" and says, "P". WHAT??!!!!

That little girl amazes me and Mommy.

And her full sentences are growing every day, too.  "Daddy's shirt is red." "I don't want to." "I want to go downstairs."  Just two months ago, those weren't sentences.

On a side note, we had a special moment tonight.  During our prayer before dinner, we were all standing in the kitchen, Mommy holding Zoe; me with my arms around them both.  Then Zoe un-snuggled herself from Mommy, and reached out so that she could wrap one arm around Mommy, and the other arm around Daddy.  PRECIOUS!

So love my little girl!
