Grandma and Grandpa J got to see how independent Mila has become. Her language is exploding and she is speaking in multiple word sentences, knows all of her colors, can count to 10 and answer questions thoughtfully. For instance, Mat was out for a run and Grandma J asked Mila where Daddy was. Mila paused then said "work". Also, when we were at breakfast Mila was shouting "Go Bruins" and Grandpa J told her, "no, go Avs". Mila gave Grandpa a stern look and said, "no, Go Bruins". Mat was very proud. Her biggest statement this weekend was when we were trying to leave and Mila shouted, "E, come get coat on, now". We were all speechless.
Elan has become a master Lego builder. He is building Legos for ages 6-12. And the most impressive thing is he does it quickly with little to no help from any adult. He will build Legos in the morning instead of watching cartoons. He is starting to expand his Lego building from just following the directions to creatively building different things. What is really impressive about Elan's Lego building is that when he looks at the directions, he studies the page and then finds the pieces and, without looking back at the directions, puts the pieces in the correct location. Impressive for 4.5!
