Last night Claire told her first joke---and it was original material too! We were eating dinner and she said, "Hey, Mom. You know what a piggy bank sounds like?" After a well-timed comedic pause she said, "Oink! Oink! Oink!" It was pretty cute, and she knows it's funny.
Apparently she had tried earlier versions of this on my Dad while they were swinging that day, and every time they'd swing she'd say "Oink."
I was also surprised earlier today when she gave me a detailed account of when I fell down the stairs last August, just a couple days after her second birthday. It included who was here, what was on TV, what she said, what I said, how I rolled into a box at the bottom of the stairs, and how Kyle was still in my tummy. (Pregnancy does not make me graceful.) I couldn't believe how much she remembered about an incident that we haven't discussed since the week it happened.
It is amazing what little minds can remember...wow!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny that she knows a joke! I love it! I am always amazed at how Weston recalls incidents from months ago at random times with such detail. It actually kind of bugs me because my fallback comfort when I do something stupid is that Weston is too young and won't remember it. Now i'm not sure. :)
