AMAZED BY THIS

I should probably go look this up before I tell you how cool I think it is - Nova gave up the "fist hold" for crayons & pencils awhile back.

Now she holds them like an adult. She's 21 months? I've never seen a kid under 2 do this. Heck, Gus doesn't even do it.


Our ECFE teacher pointed it out to us in February, and since then she's really mastered it. She also prefers pencils & pens to crayons. Dave has high hopes that she'll be the one who's really into drawing.


In other news: see that boy in the background in the top picture? He's not wearing a diaper. Day 5 of the POTTY WARS and counting!
