Funny Things F Does

Here are some notes about F over the last few weeks to couple months.

She loves getting out of the house.  Sometimes I take her out with me early in the mornings before leaving to work to water the plants.  When she wants to go out she will bring our sandals over to us and fuss at us to put them on (we don't wear shoes in the house). 

We went into a target and F wanted to get down and walk around.  I set her down and she walked over to a row of clothes.  Then she studiously went down the row stopping at each one, finding the tag and pulling it out and looking at it before moving to the next one.  She can't read and has not idea what the tags are for, but she was doing what she saw other people do.

At the same store she made a beeline for a purse with bright polka dots that are all different colors.  She hung it over her shoulders so it hung down in front of her body.  It went all the way to the floor with her feet sticking out below it.  Then she walked around with her purse.

Every since the ipad she thinks that anything glass with lights behind it is, or might be, a touch screen.  I was holding her looking at a restaurant menu through the glass.  It had a neon sign up behind the glass and she tried enlarging and moving it.  Then later when we went into a store with large TVs all along one wall.  (We don't have TV at home so this was new for her.)  At first they were all blank with a white screen, then colors and a dog appeared all at once along the entire wall.  She was so excited she jumped in place for a moment waving her arms, before getting into forward gear.  Then she ran and pulled herself up on a shelf and was whapping the screen trying to interact with it. 

This last week I was working taking apart and cleaning some equipment.  She was beside me « helping » by touching the end of a wrench to things (but in random positions and without trying to twist it, like the wrench is a magic wand that works by touch). 

She tags along a lot when T goes to his Kung-Fu class.  The school has nick named her "smiley" because she is so happy all the time. 

Also, she's been crawling up into the couch and waving bye to me when I drive to work in the mornings.  And she is happy and excited when she sees me come home, which makes me feel good.

What happens when T watches F for us.  Check out those leg tats!
