The "done" game

Me and blogging a big na na! shud have been the obvious choice in the internet savy trade I am in, but i have always resorted to the binders, just the resistance to change. I have always wanted to write so my lil one can live her baby years as seen by her mom, especially these first few when the art of memory is still being honed. At 18months she has maybe a week worth of memory.

I was to add these baby years to my hand written journal not until while I was driving this morning when this strange urge to blog arouse, not to speak of the colloquial precious baby years the joy, the warmth in a mom's life, but what has intrigued me most of these yonder years.

Here's to exemplify one. At about 15 months, after giving my lil one a warm bath, I would leave her in the bath tub filled with "pumpa" (her baby language meaning water) where she would play and talk to herself, it was her timeoff from mommy and diapers. She could stay in this world of hers for ever. I would periodically go check on her and ask her if she was done. After a few done's I would pick her up out of the bath-tub. This was a routine for days, when not so long ago she stunned me. My lil one is an early bird, the first one to be up at home. One of the mornings as usual she was up and yelled out loud at mom - "DONE??" with a questionable look, with a commanding expression "isnt it time u were up???" Wow, well said. I would have never been able to use my little vocabulary of merely 20 words so effectively !!! the human brain how it learns to corelate.... I am wonder struck!

This art of applying pieces of information, I belive is what makes the human brain and I bet the IQ?
