Making a list, checking it twice....


Dear Sonia,

I have had a very busy week at work. Your mom and I have barely talked. But she called this morning to tell me that you had had a big long talk about going to the zoo and what you would see there. You know LOTS of animal noises and signs.

Then, she strapped you into the car and away you went, on your merry way to the zoo.

And she hears you in the back seat. So she looks. And you are doing the sign for an animal, making the noise, then moving on to the next one. You're going through all the animals in your head and listing them and then doing the sign and making the noise for yourself without prompting!

This is either super super cute or a little scary. There are lots of list makers in our family. Your Auntie K, the very author of this blog, makes lists and truly relishes in the happiness of crossing things off one by one. Your mommy is also a list maker. Sometimes, we make lists and then worry about what's on them. So I hope you've inherited some of the organization of that, but not the worrying part!

In any case, I'm sure you didn't miss any important animals at the zoo, since you made a list and checked it twice. Once with Mommy and once on your own! Smart girl!

Love you (and see you next Wednesday!),

Auntie K
