aviyah's learning so much in school, and she loves it there. she's for sure really excited to see us when we come to pick us up, but she wants us to stay _there_ with her. i think she's perfectly ready now to play with others, and the learning she's getting there is really good.

she's definitely trying to use more words, but she's maybe a bit behind with her speaking. it's so hard to say. she has some languages going on, and they do say, short term, children with more than one language will take a bit to use their words. i'm a little nervous sometimes. i guess it's easier to be easy going when she's hitting all her milestones, you know? but, still, i feel okay that she's okay, and i'm comfortable that she's doing her thing.

today, at shul, she played with a young girl, shoshie. shoshie's about 7, and she is good with aviyah. aviyah was following her around and playing with her like crazy. it was the first time i've really seen her play so well another child. she was all about her. usually, she goes nutso to see the torah. she wants to hug it and kiss it and kiss it again. she kissed it the first time around. but before the second time, she started playing with shoshie, and when the torah came the second time, and i asked her if she wanted to see the torah, she said no, she wanted to stay with shoshie.
