So we are back in the sidewalk chalk on the front door phase. Valerie was really into it for a while, and then she went months not doing it at all. I had it contained to just that one spot, so I didn't have to constantly go around the house, cleaning the bottom three feet of everything. Now that it's back again, Dmitri is participating too, and for all that his language is rapidly advancing, he doesn't understand "just the front door" yet. He has coated two rooms in chalk. Good thing it washes off easy.
The cool part about them drawing again is that she showed us that she has moved into abstract thought. She is able to draw a figure and call it a person. With zero prompting from us, she drew a person, and when grandpa asked her who it was, she said "me."
Our little man shows off new words all the time. He is currently a huge fan of Mario and Luigi, and he tells us about it. He also has transitioned into making engine noises when he plays with toy cars. I don't remember him ever doing that before. How do they keep growing so fast?
