taylor has shown that she can retain and reproduce information from a one-time conversation. her most recent demonstration of this ability was at a very odd time. she had me both amazed and grinning last night/this morning at 12:49am. it's a conversation i definitely want to share & record to scrapbook about later. about a week ago taylor saw a picture of a famous person on my computer. i told her who it was and what he did and then told her i thought he was handsome.
fast forward to last night>>> i was in bed watching the last few minutes of a soccer game and david beckham was being interviewed. i hear a door close in the hall and then my door opens. standing in the doorway is my half-asleep 4 year old, complete with mega bed head. she closes the door and turns to look at the tv.
taylor: {rather groggily} mama, what are you doing?
me: watching tv.
taylor: that's david beckham. (detail #1)
me: {smiling} yes, yes it is.
taylor: he's handsome, right mama? (detail #2)
me: {now grinning and stiffling a laugh} yup, that's right!
taylor: and he plays soccer. (detail #3)
me: {impressed even further & subsequently inviting her to hop in bed by flipping open the covers-something i don't normally allow} mmm-hmm, you're so smart!
taylor: {aware of impressing her mama, she grins ear to ear, giggles & hops in bed.}
i then turn the tv and lamp off and we both drift off to sleep-smiling.
