So, before bed the other night Trev and I were talking about what else? Our kids of course! The topic of Lillie and her not talking much came up (which it often does.) The girl can understand 12 point commands and can sign anything you ask her, but as far as really talking in sentences... not happening. I have my moments of thinking maybe something is wrong with her or she's not up to par but then I have more moments where I think, "She is a genious and just doesn't want to be too obvious about it"...
Like the next morning for example. Lillie, Parker and I were playing hide and seek. Parker wanted to hide first so Lillie and I went into the bathroom to count. Out of nowhere, she starts yelling... "Umo..dos..saas.." I was stunned! She hardly talks yet she has picked up Spanish!!! She counted all the way up to 7 and then finished 8, 9, 10 in English.
AMAZING! I will never underestimate my kids and their skills again. Even if Espanol is their language of choice! The element of suprise in parenting astounds me. I'm sure every mom out there has a similar story. I guess God created them that way so we would have something to laugh about and share heh?
