My little miracle girl!

So, the other day back in late August the kids played on the patio. Jonah wanted to play with the marbles and he got the big box with all the plastic out. Since the kids lost like 6 marbles within 2 days I keep the marbles somewhere else and just give the each of the kids one marble to play with that they have to return to me once done playing.

While I was washing the dishes, Olivia came up with a marble tower for herself and she helped Jonah creating one for him, too.



Patiently they were waiting for me being done with the dishes so that I could hand them a marble.

How impressed and astonished was I when I let the kids put a marble up into the top slot and EVERYTHING worked! The marble hit in each tower every 'street', did not fall through anything, got into the spinner and into the 'toilet bowl' and dropped into it's little reservoir at the bottom. How can Olivia have the ability to really think about the up-and-down steps/ways, and even put the semi circles to the right and to the left of the tower so that the tower sits balanced on the table top? She just turned 5!

This kid amazes me every day!

And when playing with the balloons, Olivia painted this picture of Jonah and his 'wishi'...Look how accurate she drew the fish even Jonah was sleeping and had the fish with him in bed!
'Accurate' in terms of the hanging hook on top, the fish with whiskers, wings and a fluke, the grabbing semi circle where a heart, a square and a triangle hangs from.
And Jonah actually has 5 fingers!

Yep, that's her...my little genius!
