Maia: You are three-and-a-half years old now and are incredibly smart. Two weeks ago, I found you working the Leapfrog Read-yourself book. It’s a device where you use a pen, and a cassette/disc …well, it’s a little computer, in a way… and you were doing first-grade math questions. You got almost all of them right. I couldn’t believe it. At first I thought it was a coincidence but after the 5th question of you answering correctly, I was impressed. You are still an ace at the computer. You’ve been pretty savvy since last year already but now you’re a little pro. But your most impressive talent is your speech, your thought process (abstract thinking, story telling, grammar, etc.), as well as your pronunciation.
You love organizing things (I guess, that’s a thing kids do at this age) and you have an eye for fashion You constantly compliment women on their wardrobe, their nails, their shoes…it’s too funny. You also tell me, how you like my hair and how you like that sweater on me – revealing my shoulder like this ;)
Before I go ... one short entry from my blog.
What animals we would be in seaworld
01/30/05
So, Maia sits in the tub and says:
"Mom, I'm a mermaid."
"You are?" I say.
"Yes," she answers and pointing at her 9 month-old sister splashing all over the place, "and baby is an octopus. .... and Daddy ... Daddy is a whale."
"Ah nice. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to hear that," I comment, "and what am I?"
"You, Mommy.... you are...a shark."
I'm not sure if I would have rather been a whale in my daughter's projection of our characters into the marine world but a shark? Come on, I'm not that bad.
I'd see myself more like a dolphin. In fact, if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I would like to be reborn as a dolphin (preferably the type, who doesn't hang around with tuna too much).
