Today us and a friend of ours took our kids to a park to take some pictures! It really was a beautiful place, but unfortunatly the kids would not cooperate as much as we would of liked. I think I still got some good pictures. Much better than the pictures I got taken at Wonder place. The photographer sucked, and I will not be purchasing a single photo from her. I guess I have learned I do it better :)
Madisynn's new things are sorting colors and saying mmmmmmore! I read that at 17 months advanced children can sort colors. I did not think Madisynn could do this at all even though she is not quiet 17 months, she has always been advanced. My mom gave me a great idea, and so I cut some construction paper up and Madisynn was able to put the correct colors on the right spot. AMAZED me!! Here is the list that Madisynn has accomplished! The first is what most kids can do, the second is what half the kids can do and the 3rd is only a few kids can do. I am amazed that Madisynn can do all these things already at just 16 months.
