I know, I know, Danielle and Hope andHeather and all you people with newborns (or newborns with 1 or more siblings, also) have no sympathy for me (because I only have 1 kiddo, I get 8 hours of sleep a night and a kid who naps for 3 hour stretches so I have no excuse) but I think I'm losing my marbles. I can't remember anything, I'm double-booking us, I'm forgetting dates and times and I just can't keep it together anymore! I think part of it is motherhood but part of it is summer break (which, btw, is over as I start meetings, etc. next week)
Yesterday I kept Miss F home from daycare for gymnastics class. We've been taking gymnastics on Thursday for 12 weeks, now. It's always been at 9:15 and yet, yesterday, at 9:50, I started to get Miss F ready for gymnastics thinking it was at 10:15!!!!!!!!! Where is my brain?! Funny thing, Miss F was crying and banging on the door screaming "'nastics" and "car" at about 8:45 and I kept telling it it wasn't for another hour. She knew!
Other things Miss F knows:
She'll point at her stuffed penguins wing and say "Tag off" because she watched me pull the tag off.
When reading "Baby Beluga" book she says "Video car" as we watched the Raffi in Concert video in the car about a month ago (it's since gone back to the library but she remembers)
When telling dad about our day she said "Daisy bite Momma" and patted her head because Daisy bit my head.
She can 'pat, pat, pat' and 'raise her arms and say Blast-off' with the Little Einstein's video she watched for 3.5 hours straight on the drive from San Antonio
She sleeps with no less than 3 blankets and 16 stuffed animals. The other night she started crying about 5 minutes after we put her down and was asking for "Penny" (the penguin) and "Dawg" (the dog Cynth bought her for Christmas). She knew they were missing from her pile of "aminals".
Crazy....you'd think I'd remember more about Child Development having taken courses in college but I'm constatly amazed at how much these little people know. I guess I assumed they 'googoo'd' and 'gaga'd' a lot longer...
