DD is still loving preschool. It is a fantastic fit for her. It is all very normal, and there is no drama. She laments about wishing to go more days than just two, and she has made a best buddy-- a 4-year-old boy. One teacher shared with me that she has never seen anything like it in over ten years in the business. It is just really sweet. They lay on the floor together and read the same book. They play dragon on the playground. He gives up his chair for her, tells her to sit in the shade, reminds her to wear her hat, and they are just inseparable.
At home she is also starting to really enjoy card and board games. She beat us at Uno the other day and teased, "did you ever think that a three-year-old could beat you?!" She plays her cooperative games by herself almost daily. I have caught her counting and adding dots on the dominos. And, she is actually spelling out words with her Bananagrams, rather than just sounding out her experiments. She does this all on her own without me even in the room. I spy.
Developmentally, her imagination is soaring. She is telling tall tales regularly and lying with intent. We have lots of magical thinking and arguments with inanimate objects about why they need to be cleaned up, etc.
