growing up

Today Carter and I were building with blocks, as you can see from this picture. He looked over at me, pointed to his structure and said "flag." I know you're thinking what's the big deal about that? So the kid built a flag? But really, it marks the incredible transformation that is going on in his brain right now. He used blocks to symbolically represent a form he sees every day. That's a huge leap that shows growth in his cognitive development.

Ok, enough of the preschool teacher bragging about her baby. It's just that I'm so amazingly proud of him!
