Recently you have started to try to express concepts of time and space, even though you don’t always quite have the words... It is quite fun to see how you mind works during these little moments.
For instance, the other evening you had a little trouble with lining up the buttons on your pajamas, so you asked me for some help. As I re-buttoned your shirt I suggested that you start with the bottom button, because I find that it makes it easier. I also mentioned that I used to get my buttons wrong when I was a child.
After that admission you looked me in the face very carefully, as if seeing me for the first time, and said “I bet you had a lot of problems as a child.”
I did, kiddo, I did. And I still do, on most days. But you and your sister sure make most of those problems fun.
