An exchange between Sofie and I this morning…
Me: “Did you see our Christmas tree?”
Sofie: Long pause as she stares at the tree, and then, “You put stuff in a box?” referring to the ornaments that were hanging there as recently as last night when she went to bed.
Me: “Mm-hm. It’s time to put it away for the year.”
Sofie: “It’s at Nana’s house? Where it goes?”
Me: “Mm-hm. In the basement.” She already knows this, of course, because she’s seen it down there a million times when she goes down to play with all the toys Nana has been collecting from garage sales since before she was born.
Sofie: “Needa take it to Nana’s house.”
Indeed we do. Daily I am amazed by what she knows, what she understands, how she's processing life at just two and nearly a half.
