I must say, I might have been really hesitant to put Julia into a daycare, but it had been the best thing for her. Both socially and mentally. I am just amazed at some of the things she learns at daycare.
For Christmas Julia got foam animals with letters in the middle that stick to the bathtub when wet. I have worked with Julia on animal sounds for quite awhile, but apparently daycare has taught her even more. Last night in the tub while playing with these animals, Jerrod what asking her what each one said. When asked what an elephant says, she knows and uses her arm as a trunk while she is making the noise. She also knew a frog said "ribbit, ribbit", an animal I have never worked with her on before.
Then after her bath, I asked her again what a frog said. She proceeded to hop around the room on all fours like a frog, all the while saying "ribbit, ribbit". It was so funny and cute.
It does make me wonder just what kind of games they play at daycare. I don't think even I could do as good of a job teaching Julia as this daycare seems to do.
