While in some ways we can only imagine what Aliyah has seen and experienced, there are other things that we are reasonably confident are new experiences. One new experience last week was going to the zoo for the first time! Aliyah can name many of the animals in her books but I was excited to see her reaction when she saw a real elephant and that they aren't just drawings in a book. She has so much fun seeing all of the animals and we lucked out that it was a beautiful day. My favorite part was when we went to go see the monkeys and I asked her what the monkeys say. Her response was "no more monkeys jumping on the bed!" I laughed and was glad to see that she was making the connections as well as remembering one of her favorite books.

Her language skills are just incredible (and very darling, too)!
