My little Rylee

This little girl always surprises me. The other day she brought me a paper where she had T-A-Y written and said "this is Tay's name." Then she said "my name is spelled R-y-l-e-e and our phone number is" (and got it correct). I was blown away. I am learning that she is one that memorizes things quite easily after hearing it just a few times.

When we were practicing for the Primary Program a few weeks ago I overheard her in her room so I quietly listened & observed. She had all of her "friends" (stuffed animals) lined up in a row and she was talking into her microphone. She first quoted ALL of Tayler's part for the program word for word then clapped and said "good job Tayler" afterwards she did her part, clapped and said "good job Rylee." Tayler's part was pretty lengthy too, but Rylee could have acted as proxy in case Tayler didn't make it. I was impressed.

I know there are kids her age that know how to do much more, but for my Rylee she is more of the quiet observer that I didn't think really paid attention to any of that kind of stuff. She wasn't quick to talk either like Tayler did, but when she did talk she was speaking in full sentences. It is so fun to see her grow into such a cute little person. I love her so much.

She is loving preschool too. Her teacher is the cutest lady in the world. I really have been so impressed with everything that they do. Last week, I was late picking her up so she was the only one left in her class and when I came in her teacher said to me,
"Rylee is such a special girl. There is just something about her that makes her so unique and amazingly adorable. She just has a sparkle in her eye"

I love to hear that. It makes you feel good to hear it from someone else too.
