So Beautifully

" With your child's eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you've been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully" - KT Tunstall (Universe & U)

• You stack your watermelon cubes into little towers.
• You refuse to put down your crayon to eat and use it as a utencil, spearing your food.
• You point to your elbow and ask, "Da?" (That?) "Elbow", I reply. You point to your knee and say, "LoLo" (elbow). "That's your knee", I say. And then you just laugh at me as if it is silly that two such similar joints would have different names.
• You pretend to feed your toy animals (even those in pictures picture books) and make eating sounds punctuated by "mmmm!"
  
• You slept well last night, waking only twice to nurse at 12 and at 4...a record since birth!
