Memory

I am continually astounded by Lydia's memory. Not only of what she remembers, but of the detail with which she remembers it and the cognitive ability she has with problem solving. Lydia was noticing the photos we've recently hung. She was particularly drawn to the family shot we just took. She looked at it for a long while then said to me, "Mommy, that was after we traded." I asked her what she meant and she said, "You know...traded. So I could sit on Daddy's lap and Boie could sit on your lap." She's referring to the fact that Boaz was having a rough time at the photo session and kind of got freaked out while sitting on Jeff's lap, so after a few shots, we traded and then Boaz felt more comfortable and secure with me and started giving those million dollar smiles. I'm just so amazed that she remembered all of that enough to associate that the photo on the wall was "after the trade!" Smart smart two year old!!!
