I started watching "Nim's Island" and I wasn't too sure it was going to grab my attention. While I was deciding, Audrie started watching it and became engrossed. I was amazed. It's not animated and has a little bit of a complex story line for a 2 year-old. I let it play. One of the main characters got lost at sea after many mishaps with his boat. The last mishap showed his boat sinking. Audrie became so concerned about Jack being in the water. It's a family show so we know how it will end, but she doesn't. And it took a good five minutes to come back to Jack being in the water. The whole time she was worried. I was totally amazed at her grasping the gravity of the story and being concerned. Her brain is amazing. She isn't such a little girl anymore. And the movie was worth watching.
Also speaking of her brain....she fell at the playground yesterday and got a little bruise on her cheek. We noticed the bruise today. She was able to tell us when and where she got the bruise. It is the first time she has put actions and consequences together and been able to convey them to us.
