Here is a picture from Mariah's first day of class. It so beautifully illustrates the diversity that we enjoy at Daystar -- you can't see it, but there is also a lot of social and economic diversity among the families, too.
I am constantly amazed by Rachel -- it seems like she is so small and shouldn't be that smart, but oh my goodness, does she know things and have an opinion.! Yesterday she started insisting on eating food out of a bowl with a spoon. If the same food was on her tray and she had to eat it with her hands, it was just not any good! She loses a lot down her front when it falls off the spoon and sometimes the bowl gets dumped and she puts it all back in and starts over, but she is insistent that she learn to do what the big people do. Her other demand lately is fingers -- anybody's fingers that she can hold onto and walk with. She'll stand up, squeeze her fists and look around to see why nobody is letting her grab their hands:) And while is is walking she must have certain things along -- sometimes it will be her doll, other times she will insist that she wear Mariah's bike helmet while toddling around the house. It's funny.
