She did it again yesterday, her second dump.
My feelings are still a little hurt over no one wanting to see the first result...but oh well...
She went in the potty chair...or on top of it anyway. I think she got a little excited to see it, and stood up before it was out. Oh well...it was great.
Not even 2 years old, and already getting the potty thing.
Otherwise, it's just been more of the same lately. More words, more sentences that actually make sense, more of us being amazed at how much she remembers.
I asked her if she remembered the museum in NYC 2 weeks ago...she said yes. I asked if she remembered the gorillas we saw, she said "stuffed". She remembers seeing the stuffed gorilla. She must remember the dissapointment when she stared at the gorillas for a half hour and they didn't move an inch.
We were in Meijer today getting some paint, and she pointed at a mounting bracket for their computer screen and said "Bobby's House". Sure enough, the bracket is pretty much the exact one that is at Bobby's house. I never would have drawn that connection.
Then, as we were waiting for the incompetant worker to mix the paint, she started saying Bobby's House again. I kept saying I know Alex...I know. She then grabbed by head and turned it across the aisle...pointing me directly at the beer coozy that...sure enough...Bobby uses to keep his beer cold.
This both makes me proud, and worries the hell out of me. I'm quite the unobservant one, and my memory will often fail me like someone in an old age home...and my almost 2 year old is picking out details and drawing connections I would never make.
Whoo...maybe spending the last 6 months doing nothing with my day but cramming as much as I could fit into my daughter's head is eventually going to backfire on me. Perhaps I'm going to raise a kid smarter than I am.
Who hoo...Superdad!
I guess my wife should probably get some credit too...but, I'm egotistical and she isn't, so be it.
