Rachel's Ramblings



The power of observation!

Tonight my 3-year old daughter was measuring our feet with my measuring tape. 

"Mommy," she announced, "your feet are 7!"  She is right.  My feet are SIZE 7
"Daddy's feet are 9" She continued.....  right again!
"My feet are 8 right Mommy?"...  again, she was right.  She was also right about her big brother's feet.  The only one that confused her was the baby - but then the baby doesn't wear shoes yet!

She didn't measure them correctly - but she got the numbers right!  She remembered our discussions of feet in the past and took in all the numbers!  What a smart cookie  :)

She surprised me today a couple of other times, too.  She was playing with my knitting needles and I asked her to pass me a size 4.  She sorted a bit but came out with the right number.  Again, on request, she passed over a 5.  Wow, she's picking up more then I realized!  She then made me letters with the needles -- X, A, V and T!  I have completely underestimated her knowledge!  How did she get so smart?

Must be good genes!

Or maybe it was her social networks in utero and for her first 3 years!
