Just a quick disclaimer here…lol…So I’m doing terrible posting on Tuesdays and Thursdays like I said I would so I’m just going to post when I can or when I’m in a writing mood. So it could be more or less frequent. That’s more my style anyway!
My daughter is only two. She just turned two but she literally remembers everything. We went to Walmart yesterday morning because they have a vision center that we wanted to inquire about. After we did that we walked around Walmart for a few minutes. We came across some Mother’s Day gifts and M (my daughter) spied a stuffed owl. She loves ooo ooo’s as she calls them so I let her hold it for a minute. I asked her what color the owl was and she said puhple. Then we put it back and went on our merry way.
Later that night at dinner we were recapping our day. I thought of the owl and wanted to see if she’d remember. I asked her what we saw at Walmart that day and she said “ooo ooo” so I said and what color was the owl? And she promptly responded “puhple”.
I thought it was so amazing that she could remember such a small part of our day that had happened in a matter of probably 3 minutes. I mean I know kids are little sponges but it’s always cool to see their brain development in action. This was just a small example but made me think about how exciting life is to our littles. As adults we tend to glaze over the little things we love and turn on our autopilot brains just to get thru the day. I want to try and be more present like my daughter and enjoy the little things because there’s a good chance she will remember that about me one day!
