Still a baby...

I think that many times I forget that this little girl that I have such adult conversations with is not really a "little girl" yet; she's still such a baby at times. I have to be really careful that my expectations of her are not too high. She understands things quickly, but emotionally, she's still just a peanut.





I think the thing that got me thinking that today is that she was laying on her back, looking at her toes. As always, picking out the goobers. She said her fancy socks left too much "goo" in there. But she just looked so...tiny, I guess. And it was such a baby thing to do. And once in a while, I catch a view of her profile, and it reminds me how little she is. I mean, she still weighs less than 30 lbs - probably about 25, if we want to get picky about it. It's hard to remember that when I'm having a conversation with her about what the Milky Way is, or how many times in a month the earth rotates. These are not normal 2 year old conversations. Or the way she puts on chapstick like a pro, and wants her nails polished all the time. Anyway...I just need to remind myself that she's still a baby in so many ways.

She has the build to be doing gymnastics or ballet; we might need to look into that for the fall.

Tomorrow our day will include baking oatmeal cookies. She saw it on some tv show today, and asked me what they taste like - and wanted to know if we could make some. So, I'll try to get some pictures and stories of that - I'm sure it will be worthy.
