Jada remains pretty far behind in terms of conversation, although she's making progress. In the meantime, she has enjoyed two other academic pursuits: spelling and counting. She'll often proudly spell her own name as well as Aaron's, and the other day, when I asked her if she knew how to spell my name, she replied, "D-D-D-D-Y." Pretty close! Other words she likes to spell: "no," "stop," and "love." She's still working on "open" and "circus."
As for counting, it's not uncommon for her to announce as we're out and about: "There are two people with sandals on: Aaron and Jada." Or: "There's four people with mouths: Aaron and Jada and Mama and Dada." My favorite is when I ask her how many flowers she and Aaron are holding: "Aaron have two flowers and Jada have two flowers." "And how many flowers do you have together? "One, two, three, four - four flowers." Not bad.
