Jenny's new game - she thinks she's so funny

Two adorable things to report on for today.

1. My daughter loves sports, but can't tell the difference between them. Tim was watching football today and Jenny called out, "Soccer!" No Jenny, it's not soccer. "Baseball!" she tries. "No, it's football, Jenny." Later that evening, she called it golf. My poor little girl, she's so confused.

2. Jenny thinks she's hott-stuff for being able to go up and down the step by herself. Not that she couldn't do it before, it's just that now she understands that we'll trust her to do it on her own, without the near heart attack ever time she comes near it. (We're over protective, dontchaknow?) So Jenny has made a little game out of it. It's a variation on the drop-see game (ya know I drop it, now I see you pick it up).

Anyway, Jenny grabs a soccer ball (a small squishy one) out of her playroom and proceed to figure out a dozen ways to put it through, under and over the gate and then says, "I get it. No worries." I'm laughing because she goes down the steps, retrieves the ball, returns upstairs and repeats this process, just so she can go up and down the steps getting this ball.

She's trying so hard to grow up so fast. All I can do is smile about the frustrating times and then let them be dissapated by the moments that make me laugh. I really do love that little girl.
