All Shapes and Sizes

Rachel knows her shapes really well. And to her a heart is a shape so I was explaining that a heart is also what is inside of us and where mommy holds all her love for Rachel. A few days after that...

Rachel "Bless your heart mommy"
Mommy - Thank you!
Rachel - And bless Rachel's heart, and Daddy's square!
Mommy - What? A square, Daddy doesn't have a square, he has a heart too.
Rachel - No, girls have hearts, boys have squares.

Where does she get this stuff?

I'm 4 years old

Ok, so Rachel does a great job at writing her name, but she does it in all caps. Now that she can spell her name out loud and write it we are now polishing the process. So we are working on capitalizing the "R" and writing the remainder of her name in lower case "achel". The picture shows her strong attempt at copying mommy's version of Rachel. She did really well. But notice the drawing after her name....





Mommy - Good job Ray, now how old are you?
Rachel - I'm 4
Mommy - Right, can you write your age next to your name?
Rachel - (draws the picture)
Mommy - That is not a 4 silly.
Rachel - Yes it is, it is my 4 fingers. (she holds up her hand to show me 4 fingers)
