Gains Continuing

A quick update on Demi. Her memory seems to be increasing.

When reading a story at bedtime this evening, one we'd read many times before, I paused at certain points and asked questions. Demi answered almost all of the questions, while Dana (younger by 16 months, but fairly advanced for her age) got only the easiest of them. I was very surprised by what Demi recalled and how appropriately she responded. Often, she responded with the right answer in her own words, not from memorizing the words of the story. Sometimes she regurgitated a long sentence from the story. Either way, I know she's retaining, which means learning!
