About eighteen months ago, any time that Madeline and I would take a walk around St. John's, she would practice one of her favourite activities: finding similar objects that came in different sizes. "There's a mommy snail, there's a baby snail, and that's a daddy!" she'd gleefully announce, crouching on the side of the sidewalk watching a group of snails slowly make their way to the lake. The same logic - that objects came in Baby, Mommy, and Daddy sizes - was applied by my little whiz kid to leaves, dogs, socks, crayons, and vegetables alike. Chris and I thought she was brilliant, making a size connection like that!
One day last week, Madeline announced that I was "medium", and I was sad. Somehow, small/medium/large isn't as endearing. But I am glad to know that she must be paying attention in preschool at least some of the time :)
That is just too adorable! Right now we are in the phase of BIG and small. I somehow like the mamma, daddy, baby thing better as well. :)
