Did I mention that she loves sorting lately? haha. She sorts everything she sees and lays hands on… well, which is a good thing, definitely! It means that she’s making connections about items – an essential skill in processing information. 🙂

Look at her, beaming with pride… 🙂

And the dismantling begins before she does the sorting all over again!
