Think, Think, Think

Watching you think is amazing. People get old and guarded and concerned about image and annoyed when you stare at them. Children, not so much.

You completely know that words are a form of communication now. You string them together and try new ones out with a purpose. One of the more interesting things to watch is when you are trying to communicate something, but I don't understand. Some of your words sound very similar or maybe you got the word a little wrong.

So I'll tell you that I'm sorry, but I don't understand. And you can see you thinking about that. Running through your options, trying to figure out what to do next, which is usually to repeat the word over again and hope Daddy figures it out this time.

At some point we switch over to a guessing game where I tell you what I think you are trying to say and you either repeat what you are saying (no, I mean ______) or you say "Right, _____"

Watching the process of learning is amazing.
