Amazing

Sometimes I am truly amazed at how simple it is for my 18 month old to entertain herself. Or how great she thinks some truly mundane activites are. I mean I know that her attention span is like that of a, well, an 18 month old, but seriously. This kid thinks playing fetch with the dog is Gods personal gift to her.


Bits loves to stand infront of our digital picture frame and just watch the loop of 25 pictures over and over again. And everyone once in awhile she gets this expression like "wow".... like she's never seen such a great picture before.


It's the little things that she appreciates. Like cuddling with the dogs, or trying to. Like climbing up into our window seat and staring forever outside at the leaves, trees, grass, etc. She doesn't watch tv. After 10 min. she's ready to move on. I love this about her. I love that she would rather puts blocks into a bucket, dump and repeat 37 times than vedge out infront of "Dora la Exploradora".


I'm sure the day will come when playing on the floor with mom is just not as cool as it is now. But meanwhile, I'm going enjoy it.


*Wait, did I say playing on the floor? Sorry, I meant her playing on the floor with me on the couch watching. Because lets be honest, at this point if I tried to get down on the floor Lord only knows how long it would take me to get back up.*

Latest word: "Punkin"
