She Amazes Me.
One of the most amazing things I have ever experienced is watching Chloe learn. It's so cool when things just click, and she "gets it." Yesterday. I got her up from her nap, and we settled on the living floor. I held her while I was giving her a bottle, and then started reciting her favorite book. I got two lines into it. She pushed the bottle away, moved herself off my lap and onto the floor, and crawled across the room. She pushed aside her toys and picked up the very book I had started reciting. Then, she sat down, looked at me, smiled, and waved the book.
I'm sure others may not see that as all that amazing. But at that moment, I couldn't believe she made the connection between the words I was saying, and the book lying amidst her toys across the room. Only a few months ago, she was swaddled in a blanket not able to do anything for herself. Now she is a little thinking, feeling, person.
