What a difference a year makes

I've been watching S do her thing lately, and almost daily she's doing things that would have been impossible a year ago. It just floors me what she's capable of.


A year ago, we were still picking out her outfits and dressing her. Now she picks out her own stuff (she has an eye for style) and puts on all by herself

A year ago, she was still pushing her tricycle Flintstone-style. Now she can pedal like a speed demon

A year ago, she was still in diapers. Now she's fully potty trained and has a vast collection of underpants

A year ago, she had never seen the inside of a preschool. Now she goes 3 mornings a week and starts 5 days/week this fall

A year ago, her vocabulary was pretty big, but sentences were short. Now she tells full stories, complete with idioms and inflections

Well, you can see how much her hair exploded

We can't wait to see what the next year brings
