"Candy! Candy!......blah, blah, something-something"

While, admittedly, Lili has made awesome progress with the language skills, there are times when I still just stare at her blank-faced, smile and nod like an idiot.

I am quite impressed, however, that she's such a great little jump roper. She said that she taught herself at recess and I believe it. If she sees someone doing something, she'll try her darndest to learn it and do it too. That's been the greatest thing about this school year. Her language skills have improved 10000% this year because, well, she has to do it because everyone else is. While I have to admit I will not be quite so thrilled about this when she's a teenager :) her tenaciousness and strong spirit amaze me.
