Threeness

This morning Evelyn looked at the edge of our bedroom door. She turned one doorknob and watched the other one turn, then vice versa. "This door has great twisters!" I told her that they're called doorknobs, and that the door has two doorknobs. She looked at her bedroom door. "My door only has one." Then she ran over to look at her door from the edge: "One, two! My door has two doorknobs." This was a major discovery.

Later, I stood at the top of the stairs and called to her. She came to the bottom of the stairs and I tossed her preferred dress down to her. She almost caught it. "Let's try that again!" She tried to fling the dress up the stairs, then carried it up the stairs.

Then she noticed some dust particles in the sunlight. She spent several minutes catching them. "Look! I caught one!" (opens hands) "Where did it go?" She caught a white dust particle, then a pink one, then several other colors.

She's thrilled to go to school this morning. It's a beautiful day, and she has a new headband. Today is school picture day -- should be interesting.
