Our First Friend

This is Katie, Phoebe's first real friend. They were born 4 days apart and now live about 4 houses apart. Katie is advanced in learning for her age and luckily Phoebe learns from Katie (Monkey See Monkey Do). For Example: We worked with Phoebe constantly to teach her body parts, then one night we saw a blog video of Katie finding all her body parts and after only 2-3 views of it Phoebe now knows most of her body parts, even ones we never even taught her. To go along with that, Phoebe is now learning to count and I can only imagine it is because Katie was over last week counting up a storm. Finally the most valuable thing our dear sweet Katie teaches Phoebe to do is to eat. Whenever the two are together Phoebe turns into a hungry hungry hippo. Phoebe once saw Katie eat a PB&J sandwich, so she then ate one; I can't tell you how many times before this I tried and tired to get her to eat a PB&J sandwich with no luck. Katie is the perfect teacher & friend!

Here they are sitting together on the couch watching Horton Hears a Who. They are sitting so close together because Katie patted the couch and told Phoebe to come sit by her and so Phoebe practically sat on top of her.
