Ms. Smarty Pants

Ansley is such a little sponge these days and it's amazing to watch her grow every single day. The amazing thing is that she doesn't just repeat what we say...she actually understands and knows what we are teaching her. I know that going to her little class has helped a lot but Mike and I try our best to do our share. As an example, I will ask her to bring me a diaper while I am changing Ty and she will run over to where they are (which is across the room) and she will get one and bring it to me. Or just today, we came home from school and she had a snack in her little snack bowl. After she was done, she laid it down on our end table and began to play. I went into the kitchen to start making dinner. She came in the kitchen after a little while and wanted another snack (surprise surprise). She almost made it to her drawer that has her snack cups and bowls but I stopped her. I said to her, "No no, we aren't getting a new bowl out...go get your other snack bowl". She gave me a strange look and I really was not expecting her to do comprehend what I was saying...I was just saying it to say it. Next thing I know...she marches out of the kitchen, into the family room, over to her play area, looks at her snack bowl that she had put on the end table, looks at me, smiles and then runs to pick it up! I could not believe it. I didn't give her any direction, didn't tell her where to go, nothing. She brought it to me and I had to give her another snack for that. Anyway, it's just so crazy to us that she understands us and we love it. Here is a little video that I was able to capture her answering some questions...
