Penelope is strong willed, passionate, intense, and driven...she will make a great leader, but is one hell of a kid to parent!
It's her first week of (pre) school and I already see an improvement in her communication. It's as if by hearing/seeing how the other children use language has helped her bridge the gap between adults use of words as communication and toddlers. On a broader spectrum at home, this has helped lessen the severity of tantrums. Tantrums that in the last few months have dominated our days, regardless of activities, sleep patterns, or any other external sources. She is an intense, passionate child and the frustration of not being understood is discouraging to her.
As a parent we are constantly amazed by our children and their achievements, even the small ones. While playing with a water pump today the children learned to pull the level up and push down to make the water come out the faucet. I assumed that it was too advanced (although rudimentary) for her, but she grasped the concept immediately and was able to pump to get the desired results!
