A Look Into Our Lives: It's okay to show off a little bit, right?

For those of you that have had the privilege of meeting our Caty in person, you probably have received a colored picture from her. Most recently, Mike and Cherylle can vouch for this fact. Caitlyn is a coloring FREAK!! Scott receives at least one new picture a day for his collection at school, which used to cover just his filing cabinet. Now it's extended up the wall and I'm sure other places.

I'm sure that most of you parents of LP's out there can say that our kids are extremely smart. Not sure why it is, but dwarfs usually have higher IQ's. Any of you parents of LP's know why? Caitlyn's been singing songs, as you are all well aware of, she's also known her alphabet letters for quite some time now and can officially write almost all of them. This is where the showing off starts.

Using every color in the crayon box

Her newest thing - making "art projects" - covering papers completely with stickers

AND THE FINAL TADA...

All I had to do was tell her which letters to write. She is able to do her name (she needed a little help with the letters in Caitlyn, as she usually just does Caty), Mommy, Daddy, Nana and Papa without any help. Tutu is pretty easy as well (that is Scott's mom - Tutu is grandma in Hawaiian)

She will be coloring pictures like Caty in another two years. I wish we were closer so that they could play. My mom is coming to Sacramento this week. She may call you to meet you. I hope thats ok. Have a great week.; October 28, 2008 at 6:48 PM
Michelle said...: Yes you can show off! That is amazing! I truly think her letters are better than David's, and he is what, almost 4 years older? In fact, her letters are better than many of the kids in David's 1st grade class!

Its funny, I was just looking at the drawing she did for David the last time we were at breakfast and admiring her abilities. True story!

I'll admit I am a bit biased though, seeing as how she is a fellow Brad Paisley fan AND one of my favorite kiddos to have breakfast with! LOL; October 28, 2008 at 7:08 PM
