Shapes & Colors

Somewhere between all the unpacking and cleaning and the catching up--Gracie and I found some quality time to play together this week.

We unpacked some of the Fisher Price games we collected on a week-long bargain store shopping spree while in Lynchburg. We got this adorable "I'm A Little Tea Pot" game, several Clifford games, Oreo Cookie matching game and Gracie had gotten an ice cream game and some flash cards for her birthday.

I am proud to announce at only 25 months, my toddler can match shapes and colors! I am sure in the "grand toddler growth chart" this is very normal--but I am very excited for her. We played the tea pot game which matches shapes and colors and she got every one. Then, we pulled out the Oreo game which is just shapes, but there are 12 different ones making it much harder. Much to my delight, again she got everyone. I thought, I am going to stump her and pull out the matching card game--she got it too! Not everyone, but several! I was very impressed.

I also decided to try out the flash cards, she got about half of the "household items" stack right (they were pictures of harder items like: hammer, watch, cabinet, etc.), but when I pulled out the Pooh picture flashcards (simple pictures like: broom, nail, rain, etc); she got all but 3! I am so proud of her.

I had been a little worried that I might have been slacking in my teaching duties, but I guess she is catching on to more than I realize.

Yea Gracie!
