Didn't your Mama teach you that it's not polite to point?

Baby T is pointing - not such a big deal. BUT. Today, he started identifying pictures when asked. He loves the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?", given to him by my lovely friend, Darien, when he was born. At the end, I always ask him things like "where is the red bird?" and then I point it out. Today I asked, and he pointed to it! I was shocked, because he's never done anything of the sort. Then he pointed out the teacher when I asked him to. He even did it later for Susan. Genius, that kid.

Also, can we implore you to cross your fingers for Theo? We made the decision awhile ago to start him in a preschool next September, two mornings a week from 9-12. We found one we like and the lottery is February 3rd. We went and met with the director a couple months ago to see the place and discuss our hesitancy as it is a church based program. We were very impressed and liked the staff a lot. We would feel comfortable with Theo there and feel like he would get a really good head start for school and would get some good socialization. So, keep your fingers crossed that he gets in! It's extremely popular due to their great reputation and there are only 8 kids in the class for his age, so not a lot of slots. Feels like we are waiting on college acceptance letters!
