Today, we're driving down the highway, past a shopping center that's near our house. All of a sudden, Widget lets out this exuberant yell, "That's where we got 'Blue goes to School'!" Which Wiley bought for her months ago at the Best Buy in the center. Wiley tells me that when he drives past the U-Haul place on our corner, she yells out that it's where they returned the truck that our friend rented, also months ago. How does she remember these things?
One of the things that I say when she asks me to do something I can't (or don't want to) do, is "I'm not very good at that, can we do X instead?" Today she asked me for help with something, saying she wasn't very good at it. I'm not sure whether to be amused or horrified that she's picked that up.
She seems a little out of sorts about Wiley leaving. She keeps making sad noises, and saying she can't tell me why she's sad. When I ask her if she misses her Daddy, she makes a sad face and says "yes, I do." Hopefully, this will get better before it gets worse, since he's gone for two weeks. A week or so ago, when she was making her little sad noises, I told he she sounded like a sad doggie. Now when she does it, if you ask her what's wrong. she says that she is a sad doggie. Cute, but not helpful. Silly girl.
