Telling stories

Grace's ability to describe and retell things has improved remarkably over the last while. Like this afternoon when I asked her which episodes of Dora she had watched while I was putting up shelving brackets, she quickly responded, "Butterfly one, piggie one." It used to be difficult to know if she was telling us what actually happened, or what happened on another day, but her accuracy and ability to convey the information is significantly better.

I enjoyed the story this morning though.

Donné: "Grace where are you and dad going?"
Grace: "To corner store. Buy croissants. Going in pram. Walk"

I had told Grace we were going to Basil's (which is not the corner store) to buy croissants – she came up with the rest. I think she had no reference for Basil's (we practically never go there) so she decided on the corner store and figured out how we would get there.

She is definitely full of stories that she wants to tell at the moment and it is great to just listen.
