I am amazed

There are often days when I wonder if I am getting through to Cecilia. Does she really pay attention to things? Does she listen to what I say or does she pay attention to what I do?

Yup. she does.

She came up to me and said "Celie hungry." So, we went downstairs to get her a banana. Once upstairs, I started peeling it for her. I ran back downstairs for a minute - well, I thought for a minute - it must have been 5. Celie came down - empty handed. I asked her where was the banana as I had visions of mushed banana in the carpet in my bedroom with the peel in many pieces all over the upstairs. Her answer - "In my tummy," Good answer, I guess. So, I escorted her upstairs dreading what I might find. I found the door to "my" room (my craftroom/picnic area during our renovations) open. I went inside to find that she had opened the door and placed the banana peel in the trash can in my room. WOW!! She does pay attention.

Now, if I could just get her to stop dumping the goldfish all over the living room floor.
