As If the Candy Corn Wasn't Enough...
My child, she is killing me these days.
I honestly don't know where she's coming up with some of these things, but the cuteness is messing with me. To whit:
--When something is in abundance, she says, "___________________ are everywhere" which such drama and aplomb. Like today, we were walking through the fallen leaves to the car. She flung her arms out and announced, "Leaves are everywhere!" While sitting in rush hour traffic, "Cars are everywhere!" At the butterfly house, "Butterflies are everywhere!" The cuteness, it is everywhere.
--If she can't figure something out, she hands it to me and says, "Fix it."
--On Saturday, B. was letting Clara Jane run amok, naked, which led to her standing in the middle of the dining room, urinating with a trajectory I thought impossible with her particular chromosonal makeup.
Tonight, she was again running amok, naked, but she took precautions this time. She put on her rain boots. You know, just in case.
--The singing. My child, she is discovering her voice, and using it. A lot. It started with some simple songs from Teletubbies and has since skyrocketed. Like one day last week. She was watching PBS when a snip of Kermit singing "The Rainbow Connection" came on. She'd seen this a few times, but never seemed to pay much mind. Until Friday, when I heard her singing along with it. Word for word. A 20-month-old singing, "Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide"? That's not normal, is it? Adorable enough to make me cry so vehemently that I made the dining room carpet wetter than she did, though. She's also working on "You Are My Sunshine", "Sing a Song" and "To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, Is to Be High).
--Yeah, I know, this is nothing but a list of brags about my child. I'm lazy. And this is easy.

She is extremely verbal for her age. That is amazing!

It is not normal, and if my child started singing "Rainbow Connection", I would bawl in delight. That song rocks.

Damn your italics. My mom told me I peed on a wall while getting my diaper changed as a baby. Apparently I had quite the shooting range that she had to do a double take....
