captain_slinkyInstalled a Dora The Explorer game for Molly yesterday; she completed it before midnight. As early as last month, she couldn't make the connection between clicking the mouse and making things happen on the screen.
She sings and dances along to Peter Pan (the live-action musical version from the 60's starring Mary Martin), and really follows the story. Most of our play-time revolves around flying to Neverland to save Peter. As early as last month, movies were just something to be immediately entertained by and then discarded; play-time was a series of random chasing and stacking and scribbling.
She follows along with Sesame Street, counting and singing and dancing along. Counting with The Count, telling hikm what number comes next, saying The Alphabet along with Grover. As early as last month, Sesame Street was what she had to suffer through in order to see Elmo.
I am SO AMAZED by her! She just... she observes until she's comfortable with something, and then she just DOES IT. There's no learning curve. Just one day it's nothing to her, the next day BAM! She totally gets it!

AND there's a bus that takes you RIGHT TO the Half Price Books at James Village in Lynnwood on 196th. I love Half Price Books... clearance kids software every day for as little as 50-cents!
