Communication.........

Kali 2.11 is really starting to come around with her language skills. She's doing a really good job of phrasing and also is much more animated in her conversations. She uses her hands a lot when explaining things to you. Last night over dinner, she sat next to Gwen 2.7 and explained how she had costumes over at her house and she invited Gwen over to play dress up with her. She also went into a long explanation to Gwen of how the 'blue button' was no longer available on one of her favorite Netflix movies, which meant that she could no longer watch it. FYI......the blue button is a 'Play' button on Netflix where you can stream a movie straight to a computer. Netflix has taken 'The Swan Princess' off their streaming list, hence the reason the 'blue button' is no longer available.

Kali is also learning how to spell some words with Mrs. Lime's help. Kali plays a 'princess dress-up game' on Mrs. Lime's Iphone. The first step in the game is to name your princess and you can't move forward until then. The other day, Kali came up to me and gave me the Iphone to look at. I looked to see 'Splig' typed in the name box. I was a bit confused, so I asked Mrs. Lime what I was looking at. Evidently, Kali was trying to type 'Sleeping Beauty' into the box, but only got in 'Splig'. Still, I was pretty impressed that she had got that much given that she's not even three years old. She obviously knew she was typing 'sleeping'.

Giselle 0.1 continues to grow bigger and bigger. She's average height thus far, but 75% in weight, so she's not missing many meals at this point. She's also doing a good job of communicating. She smiles a lot already and also gives a 'coo' here and there. Given that she'll be able to learn from Kali, I expect her to start babbling much quicker than Kali ever did.
