Amazing

Last night I was giving Katherine a hair cut in our bathroom after her bath. She does not like them, saying ouch when the scissors touch her neck. I let her play with anything and everything trying to get her to hold still. She was brushing her teeth with my tooth brush while picking Q-tips out of the holder. She took the tooth brush out of her mouth and counted, "One, two, three, four" as she pulled out Q-tips one by one. I was stunned. We count all the time, with everything, but this was the first time she'd counted by herself with out any promting from us.

It still amazes me that all of a sudden they can do something. You know they are listening and absorbing like crazy, and then one moment "poof" they've got it.
