Have you ever heard that when kids have a fever it pushes them through a developmental spurt and they come out the other side with new skills and maturity?  We had seen signs of this before with Quinn but it\’s been quite some time since he had a fever.  

This past week Quinn had a fever on a number of days.  Now he\’s like a butterfly who has come out of his cocoon.   We thought he was a chatterbox before.  But now?  Wow!

Friday morning at breakfast Quinn got up and asked me how to spell \”the\”.  I told him how to spell it  not thinking much of it because he is always asking me \”Amy, how do you spell xyz?\”.  But I turned around and saw this on the chalkboard.

He wrote out a full sentence by  himself. Amy is on the cat.  This is similar to a sentence he learned at school but I\’m still impressed.   He later changed Amy to Don.  And then to Amy and Don.

Our little butterfly is spreading his wings and soaring!
