Finally Getting Good at Doing Short Ones, Whew!










Today Diella got out a book, and wanted to read it to Ethan. She opened to each page, and made up a storyline, according to what each picture was! I wanted to get it on video So bad, but she wouldn’t do it again. It was not only adorable, but also very creative!

Lately, Diella loves to ask, “what kind?” it sometimes doesn’t apply really… but its cute that she wants description & specifics of things, ha!

Cousin, Aria has been using a computer! I’ve tried to show Diella how to work the touch mouse pad & understand how the arrow moves when you touch it, but she wasn’t catching on a first. I tried again the other day, and I think the light bulb went on! So there she was, playing on sesamestreet.com all by herself, yay!

She has always been quite the dancer (even in the womb, hehe)! She has recently mastered this one move that I love! She'll spin on one foot, getting momentum, lifting one leg while she spins on the other. I think its Great!!!


And I captured on video on my phone the most amazing thing the other day!!! But I cant find the adapter ANYwhere to try to upload the video… I’ll keep trying… She has this toy piano in her room, with attached microphone that she loves to play with. She says, “mommy, I’m playing Twinkle Twinkle!” So I sit down to listen, and she’s playing each note twice, going down, then the last note once (just like the song goes)!!! So I recorded a little video, quite impressive she was! It wasn’t perfect every time of course. So then I notice that the keys each have a number above them, so I told her to start with 1, 5, 6, then go down… and then I clicked record again for a second video, and she amazed me even further. I helped a little with which ones to go to next, but even when she pushed a wrong note, she would smile & say, “THAT’s not right!” She could HEAR which notes were right & wrong! I’ll HAFTO get this video up!!! Later that night, when I showed Jake the two videos, his face jus lit up, his expression was filled with so much pride for her! We are both pretty floored at this, and when I finally post it, you will be too!
