Addie's new tricks a post by Ryan

So here is an update of Addie's latest skills:

She knows her abc's and has started spelling every word she sees. She recognizes Addison, but that's about it so far. And she is learning the sounds the letters make and has most of the consonants down!

She counts everything that in sight that is not a letter.(up to 13 and sometimes we get a stray 16 or 17)

Loves to play pretend with her toys, which you can tell because she switches to her "pretend" voice. It is hilarious.

And the highlight of Ryan's week:

We were walking through the grocery store trying to keep Addie busy in the shopping cart, so we broke out a fresh can of play dough from her Halloween bag. She is playing with it and chattering away, then she yells "DAD! HELP! HELP!" So I ask what is wrong and she hands me the play dough which she had sculpted into what actually looked like a hippopotamus and says "Look, a Hippo!"

She's pretty much a genius.
