Am so enjoying Miss J's blossoming verbal prowess.

Tonight, as I admired her drawings of animals, she responded, "I copied them from the book. They inspired me."

I relayed her use of 'inspired' to hubby and even he was impressed.

Lately, she's been watching Barbie videos with Miss B: Mermaidia, A Fashion Fairytale, Fairy Secret. FS is her favourite. She can watch it over and over and tonight, she displayed how much of the script has actually embedded itself in her memory.

She can recite, with 100% accuracy, the entire exchange from when Taylor and Carrie are trapped in the Fury Sphere by Princess Graciela and are trying out different gadgets to help them escape, to Raquelle and Barbie realizing, as they sit in a cage, that their tense relationship is due to them misunderstanding each other.

It's just incredible what a motivated human mind can achieve.

If a 4 yo can do so much, what about the rest of us?
