She is really at the point now where everything is black and white. Boys do certain things, like soccer and play ball, and girls do certain things, like dance and music, and, in her world, the two cannot cross. I have explained to her during the men's figure skating Olympics competition (since she asked me for at least 30 minutes straight), that boys can do things that girls do and vice versa so sometimes she comes around to it but, for her, there will be no soccer or balls...she will just go watch Shook!
Her speech and language have always been really good but I don't think I ever realized how much she takes in her surroundings. She asked two lesbian women on the bus from Disney World why two girls were together (they had been discussing their life with other patrons but I didn't think anything of it). I wasn't really prepared for this to happen just yet so I was in shock. They said, well, you and your mommy are together. And, Jules said, yeah, but I have Daddy and Shook too. I was going as fast as I could to get her off the bus! It's just amazing what she observes.
School work on the other hand is not her favorite. She likes to draw and color but she is un-phased about staying in the lines, learning letters and numbers, etc.

She makes me laugh all the time and she gives me the best snuggles. The other day I found her sidewalk chalk for her and she said "Thanks mom, I know what we would do without you!" Ha! She also calls her uniforms unicorns. And, she still calls Batman Fatman. It's too funny to correct.
She tells me I look good most everyday, sometimes multiple times, and tells me I'm the best mom a girl could ask for. Sometimes she does tell me that I need some sparkly shoes because my friends won't like my shoes!
She and Shook wrestle ALL THE TIME. And, she takes up for him a lot. You always think it will be the boy taking up for the girl but I'm pretty sure she herself under control!
I love her to pieces!
