She will find a book's torn page and beg to repair it,

Nine days in, this I know -
He will shout "Oh my goodness!" when the story gets exciting,
She will not sing songs with us but will repeat them verbatim to her family when she gets home,
He will head for the bathroom when I invite everyone to gather on the carpet,
She will begin singing the clean up song when we announce that centers are ending soon,
He is printing each letter of his name beautifully,
She is reading our daily routine, predicting what comes next with amazing accuracy,
He likes to watch the sand funnel onto the floor,
She will fill, empty, re-fill her water bottle, and repeat this over and over, again and again,
He will hide acorns from the science center throughout our play kitchen,
She will create a drawing for her Daddy and hold it tenderly for the next hour,
He loves to take physical risks, jumping from high on the playscape, creating precarious block towers, hopping down stairs oh so fast,She will find a book's torn page and beg to repair it,
He can't resist peeling the tape off my classroom signs,
She will dump out toys from every bin and basket in the classroom,
He doesn't look at me but is listening to and following my every word;
She will visit the family photos over and over throughout the day, squealing delightedly at her Mommy's face, as if seeing it for the first time,
She will need her own quiet corner to settle into nap,
He will fall asleep as soon as his body meets the cot,
She will carry her lovey all day long,
He will tap the glass of the beta fish's home and immediately explain that we should never do that,
She would rather not wash her hands, because she is holding tight to her mother's kiss,
They love books, blocks, paints, clay, puzzles, baby dolls, and drawing,
They love bears, monsters, rainbows, trucks, flowers, birthdays, and superheroes,
We are going to have a great year!
