The thing that we sometimes don't realize about 2 year olds is that they are learning about the world as they see it, and they don't always see it the same as we do.
For example, Micaela explained to me today " is cod out and the sun is seeping. the couds are seeping too. The sun flew away but when it wakes up its bewy bewy big. but is dark out now. its dark outside the window".
She rarely sees night time. The sun, at least during the summer, is still out when she goes to bed. But tonight, she stayed up late so she and daddy could come get me from school at 8pm. She's adapting her schema of the world to include nighttime. I thought this was pretty good.
The other day, we arrived home and she said "it's micaeya's house!". We replied, yes, it's mommys and daddy's house too.
This morning, upon arrival home, she proclaimed to Liam "Daddy. it's micaeya's house- it's yee-ums house too- but it's micaeya's house!"
I don't know if you noticed, but all of her Ls sound like Ys.
2 years old children are amazing. I can't believe I am so lucky as to see the world from her eyes.
