The amazing way Hannah's mind works...

Hannah is a talker. Always has been, I'm sure always will be. She comes by it naturally from a long line of gabbers. What is so amazing to me though, is the way that she says things sometimes. A few examples from yesterday...

I had forgotten to give Hannah something to drink while we were eating lunch . Did she say, as many other almost 3 year olds would, "I need a drink" or "Could I have a drink?" or "I'm thirsty"? Oh, no. Not Hannah. She turned to me and said. "Mom, could I please have something to wash it down because I think I have some bread stuck in my teeth?"

Later, playing a game where we were looking for things with different shapes in the living room, Hannah decided to look for objects which are circles. She didn't go for the obvious round clock hanging on the wall, or the wreath, or the ball on the ground in front of her. Oh, no. Not Hannah. In this exact order, here were her list of circular observations: the bulb in the lamp is round (looking at its circumference...naturally), the knobs on the doors are round, the top of your coffee cup is round, and the base of the ceiling fan is round.

Her clever little mind is drawn to the complex over the simple every time. It's astounding some days.
