Who knew that these three questions could be asked so many times a day by the same person. Yes, Braid has hit the curious stage and would like to know the answer to these questions to gain knowledge about the world as well as asking them for her amusement. She thinks it is quite funny if it annoys me in the least bit to be asked the same question about the same thing after I have already answered her. As with most things relating to my children, I try to take a laid back approach and act as if it is not a big deal. I try to act like it doesn't annoy me and I find great joy in answering her questions; it doesn't always work and she has figured it out. Braid is incredibly smart and picks up on the smallest of details. She is an observer, whether it is learning a new song, a new sport, or a new trick. She never sings the song with you the first, second or third time. She just listens intently and watches your every move. Then she can repeat the song or whatever you are teaching her. It's definitely not always perfect but she does really well in my opinion. Braid has also been into shortening names lately. She calls her friend Corbin, "Corbie" and Cason, "Case". I have recently been shortened to Mom. For some reason, I really don't like this and would prefer to be called Momma. We are working on it. Then she also decided to shorten Maymee to Maym and Poppa to Pop. I hope this is a phase.
As much as Braid loves to test me and push my buttons, she is also the funniest and sweetest thing. I really laugh at her or with her throughout the day. Her hugs and kisses are the best and make you feel so loved. I'm going to try to get some video of her singing Fuzzy Caterpillar. It is the cutest song that Aunt Jessica taught her. I don't know if she will do it for the video camera, but I will really try. It will melt your heart.
