A day in the life of...
Adora...
reading the paper...
making a phone call...
I am so amazed at how quickly she picks up on things just by mere observation... I know that it's normal for children to mimick those around them, but it's totally new to me, and stops me short every time in complete awe. It's just so cute and funny, and yet to her, I think she really believes she's simply doing whatever it is that people do... I love it.. She's so smart, and ready and willing to learn... And while there are so many things that just plain baffle me, like in my funny girl post, there are, too, so many things that I say "where did she learn that?" or "I can't believe she remembers me doing that, for her to be doing it" Sometimes it will take me a minute to connect the fact that it's something she's seen me do... like when she finds an empty water jug that I fill up at the store, and she'll pull the cap off and hold the jug to her nose, and then smile at me, seeking my approval. The confusion fades when I realize that I do that to smell them to make sure they haven't gotten musty inside... Or she'll go picking up random objects off the floor and putting them in a plastic bag that she's carrying around with her, like I do when I'm doing a quick clean up.

Thanks for making my day. The memories come flooding back. I remember when Aunt Wendy took you shopping with her and the other kids. You would proceed to grab every tag and look at it, as if you could read the price. Just remember the song, be careful little eyes what you see......because that's exactly what they're doing. And it is amazing how quickly they pick up on things. Love & Kisses
Oh, thats is so sweet. I did'nt know she'd smell in the jug! That is soo cute. She wnats to be like you. I wonder if she has nursed a baby doll yet? Sam did that when i first had patience. Once when she was crying, he tried to nurse her! Our great kids!
