Liesl has really gotten into her watercolor paints that I bought for her. She is using the "Crayola Beginnings" watercolors which are little balls with paintbrushes on them and the watercolor ink is inside. I think she likes the results better than the crayons. I don't think that they give her enough color for her taste. But she loves to paint. When she sees momma's paintings that I have been working on she taps on it and says painting. She is very respectful of it too and careful.
Yesterday, she really showed her stuff with the Mega blocks. She is a "mad stacker". Very fast and accurate. When she is done they all go back in the bag without prompting from Oma. I was quite impressed.
She has been doing very well also with her utensils at the table. She is still using her hands alot but has been practicing her fork and spoon and getting a lot better at it. I also let her have cups with a little water in them to drink and she does pretty good with them.
Saturdays are swim class and last Saturday was the first since......last November I think? She did a lot better this time around. Not that she was not comfortable last class. She is just able to take direction better this time around and understands things better that I am saying. When I ask her to kick, she kicks and says "kick, kick, kick" as she does it. She also did very well with getting dunked under the water over her head (per the instructor's request of course). This class gets to be in the kiddie pool which is much better and we get to walk around a central island that the instructor stays near. I think my little fish is going to really enjoy class each Saturday.
