She either is very smart, very creative, had a very good nanny that interacted with her, or was so truly bored that she finally figured out what to do with nothing, or what to do with just one toy or a piece of paper, or whatever she had.
For instance, at dinner last the night before, we ate at Tekila (a Mexican restaurant). The girls each received a coloring activity page and 2 markers. They colored the full paper, both sides. Amaris kept putting her paper under the main table glass so that it wouldn't keep moving while she colored at her high chair.
When she was all done, she methodically and carefully turned her paper and began ripping straight lines from one end of the paper to the other. Then, she would turn the paper clockwise one rotation and do it again. And then turn the paper one full rotation, and rip it again. She did this over and over and over until she had ripped the entire paper. Then, she ripped the pieces into smaller pieces. She had a pattern to her ripping and ripped ever so carefully. Gabriella noticed Amaris and notified us that Amaris was "making bad choices." But, we told her she could do it to with this paper, but never ever with books. We'll see how that goes!
Today she undressed her baby dolls, the one we sent to her at the orphanage for her 2nd birthday and the one we bought her the day she was born... that was a "God-thing." She not only undressed the dolls, she turned their clothes right side out, danced with them, and interacted with them.
She had a coloring book that she was coloring in and then used it to hide the ball that she really wasn't interested in throwing with Gabriella and Tyanna.
