Well, our Internet was down for a long period of time, so I was unable to write updates of the children, but now it's finally fixed.
I am really impressed with Ava. Paul and Paulchen were counting together the other day and I heard Ava making sounds. Some of those sounds sounded like numbers. So I sat with her and counted as well. After I said 1, she said 2. Then she said 3. Her numbers aren't perfect, but she had the basic concept down. I was so amazed. I looked at Paul to make sure I wasn't hearing things and he realized what she was doing as well.
Today, I had to vacuum and she grabbed the vacuum attachment and began to vacuum as well. Once again, I was impressed. Paulchen did these things as well, but it took him a little longer to catch on. Ava is only 14 months as she does things he didn't do until about 18 months. I'm not certain if it's because she's the second child, or because she's a girl, but either way I'm very impressed.
