    That's very cool! I think the closest I've had to that kind of experience thus far with our kiddos was when our oldest presented me with a drawing of people she made while at daycare. They were little circles, with eyes, and a mouth, and little stick arms and legs (very very long stick arms and legs). I remember thinking, "last week you had no idea how to do this, I even tried showing you". Now her people have proper bodies and hair, and she often has something to present me after daycare "This is YOU DADDY!!". Every little drawing of "me" really makes my day, and every week she gets better at it. Now we regularly doodle together, and it's so fun.

      Aw that's so sweet! Yeah they grow up so fast its hard to keep up. I also noticed I can ask my kids about books or tv shows and they can give me pretty good summaries of what happened when before I'd get blank stares or a "you tell me"
