Jeremy introduced a game to SJ that led to all kinds of unexpected learning.  While holding her, he simply counted 1….., 2….., 3….. JUMP!  She squealed with delight, and he repeated this exercise about 20 times.  Out of the blue she started saying “twooooo….” – demanding to continue the game.  So now we’re counters.  I’m reinforcing the concept of counting by holding up one finger, then two fingers, and so on.  And I’m trying to push her beyond three so that maybe she’ll associate it with counting (rather than jumping).  🙂

We took Selah June to see Christmas lights with the family at Bellingrath Gardens.  It was breathtakingly beautiful, and Selah June was in a state of zen awe for about the first hour we were there.
