Squeaker continues to make the rounds of college graduations. Last week was one of her aunts (of whom we are very proud) and this week was an uncle (of whom we are also very proud).
Squeaker has begun to discover that these letter and numbers she plays with occur outside her play room. She and Brite were shopping this week when she blurted out, "Look Brite a 6! And a 5 and a 4 and 3 and a 2 and a 1!" Then silence for a bit, "Look Brite a 7 and a 8 and a 9 and a 1 and a 0."
On the other hand at her uncle's party she played with two other children her age who were jumping down a couple of steps into the play room and landing on both feet. Squeaker watched them jump and wanted to try too. She stood at the top step and got ready to jump. She stepped down a step and got ready to jump again. Squeaker looked around, and stepped down one more step. She got ready to jump and stepped quickly to the bottom. I don't think we need to worry about her mastering the triple jump (or the standing broad jump for that matter) any time soon.
