New York Bye Bye

So sadly it is true, we are leaving New York for Houston. In fact, Bluet and Emily left this morning, whilst I am hanging around until the end of the month to get work finished. This means that updates to the blog may be a little sparse this month (although I hope to spend a weekend down there). But never fear, I have assembled a small collection of videos, sounds and pictures from Bluet's farewell to New York tour to post over the next few days. I will begin, however, by describing her progress with letters and numbers. Her favourite letter is B, and why not? When we were in Missouri waiting in the car by a sign that said 'beer and liquor', Bluet looked out the window and said 'I see B'. She can consistently identify the letter B wherever it is written. She is very clever. She can also consistently identify 'P' and 'O', occasionally A,C and D as well, and today she was running around saying 'ABC' as if it were all one word. Her favourite number is 6, and on occasion she can also pick 8 out of a line up. Emily's sister gave Bluet one of those magnetic drawing boards for Christmas. On that we like to draw the letters (or numbers) and tell Bluet what they are. Bluet then erases the number (or letter) and says 'Bye Bye, Six' or 'Six, Bye Bye'. It is very cute.
