lucy go to library pick new book about cats, take pumpkin book back....

12/1/11
so our little bean is now, constantly, speaking in sentences (omitting the conjunctions most of the time) and it is amazing to see this development unfolding.

i really began thinking about cognitive development awhile back while using animal flash cards with lucy; she is an animal lover and obsessed with the cards.  there are several categories of animals from insects to mammals with many representations of most classes.  i noticed the errors that she was making demonstrated classification.  allow me to clarify:  lucy would confuse grasshopper and ant (insects); squirrel, chipmunk, and mouse (rodents); tiger, jaguar, and lion (cats).  i love witnessing cognitive mapping and watching lucy's mind grow and make connections.  tbc.
