This just in: smart human surprises me again.

She said goodbye to her daycare teachers by name – bye Sam, bye Gina. i never heard her yet say goodbye to anyone other than me, beckie or kila. well Jo, but 11oz. does not count.

She brought me a box with a roll of scotch tape inside, and she knew there was something inside the rattling was not just the inherent behavior of the thing, and she wanted me to open it, and then she wanted me to open it some more. oooooohhh, pattern recognition.

She could actually start the Prius if she just got tall enough to reach the Power button. bet the dipshit eye-candy engineers at Toyota never thought of that.

She grabs her tray to tell me she is ready to eat, as if i don’t yet recognize hunry.   she tells me what she wants, and what she doesn’t, and when she is done

Here’s the best one: while we were hiking, she first let me know that she wanted to be sherpad and not walk, then she let me know she would rather go home than go to the park. swear to god…it wasn’t that hard if i just listened.

and her foot seems better.
