Abby comes to her stepping-stone (our home) before she goes to On these few days she likes to pour out from a box the coins I store to pay tolls for tunnels. To her, coins are round heavy metals that can be poured out at one time and scattered round her feet. She does not know their values and that they can be used to buy toys, ice-cream and McDonald Harsh Browns.
Yesterday she learned from her Great Grandma that coins could be twisted round and round. Today when she pours out the coins, she remembers that little action of flipping or twisting of a coin, not skilful, but good enough to show that the image of a coin turning before her is still there in her mind. Good observation and memory, Abby!

It is amazing to know that children learn so much by watching what others do, very often the things we do not even notice ourselves.
Enjoy the stay of this clever girl with you before she departs for Canada.
