+ Binkies are for babies +
You crack me up more every day, did you know that? This morning when we rode to school, I stuck a binky in your mouth and gave you your elephant to play with. When we got to school, I climbed in to get you out and said to you: "Okay, you've got to leave your binky here. You know you can't have it at school." So what did you do? You spit it out, reached down to grab it and handed it to me. I think my jaw hit the floor. I set it down on the seat and you reached for me to pull you out of the car seat to go inside. Unbelievable. We really are getting to a point where you understand a HUGE percentage of what we say.

Other cute small-human tricks: You understand our morning routine perfectly. When I say, "Princess, do you want a cookie? Go in your box," you know to walk with Princess to her crate. You put your hand out and wait for me to hand you the doggie treat, which you promptly hand to the doggie. We shut the door and you head for the front door as I say, "Okay, let's go to school!" Today, though, Princess threw a little fit and was yelping in her box. You got very upset and a little scared, and ran for me crying. Now I guess is when we really work on explaining things to you. I explained to you that Princess is just sad because she wants us to stay home and play with her instead of going to school.

Dang it, always more to say and no time to write it. I'll try to post more soon.
