G knows and recognizes what rocks are when we are hiking.   apparently this has been going on for awhile, and i did not know. I’m quite sick of saying that, and quite sick of beckie being oh-so-smug about it.   Lots of stuff I know about t.Human that she does not, we just communicate in different ways.   For example, I know that G knows that rocks =   owee.   She sees some uneven ground with rocks and goes “rocks rocks rocks owee owee” in her little baby voice. then i go”careful careful careful.” and she gets it. and then she faceplanted, but that’s actually a perfect scenario for negative reinforcement and education.   and since she faceplanted on the way to the park, its actually a positive educational experience in her little baby mind.   daddy is wise.
