The gremlin used a blank disk yesterday to trace circles on paper. Then she was making pictures out of the circles. One of the pictures had two circles right next to each other and some other stuff around it. When I asked her what it was, she told me it was gears and she actually showed me the direction each gear would turn when the top one turned... and she had them all right!
I was going to scan it to put on here, but for some reason our scanner isn't scanning and it's too light for the camera to pick it up. So I'll probably post a pick of it once we figure out what's up with the scanner.

Yesterday, before leaving to take the gremlin to daycare I reminded her not to forget her Teddy. She is completely inseparable from her Teddy most days, but sometimes she gets preoccupied and she forgets all about Teddy.
Instead she was more interested in dancing around and less interested in getting ready for daycare. Friday is her day for show and tell, and she gets upset when she misses show and tell, so we were trying to rush her out the door. Unfortunately, Teddy got left behind.
She realized it when we were already half way to her day care, and since we were walking and its a 30 minute walk each way there was no way we were turning back. We felt it was more important for her to learn the lesson of "listen to the mom and dad and do what your told and you won't forget things" anyway.
As heartbreaking as it was, and after consoling her for a few minutes, we left her with her class and started walking home. We were both so tempted to just take her home with us, but we fought the urge... and I'm glad we did.
I called the daycare later that day to ask how she was doing and they said she was doing fine. She calmed down shortly after we left and was even content to snuggle the doll she brought for show and tell at rest time. I was planning to pick her up early, but I figured since she seemed fine, I'd just leave her.
Of course we brought Teddy with us when we went to pick her up and she was so excited to see her... and she was in a very good mood. She'd had a good day at school. When we packed her things to go home, we noticed a piece of paper in her bag:
It reads "Taiya, We are very proud of your accomplishment of being brave at rest time without Teddy."
And believe me... this is quite an accomplishment for her! *smiling proud mom*
