Addendum
Actual conversation between Iris and I, approximately four minutes ago:
I: Bears! Bears bears bears bears bears bears bears bea....
M: Do you want to count the Care Bears on this page? Let's count them. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
I: AYT! AYT AYT! AYT! AAEEEEET!!!
M: *blinks* Did you just say "Eight?"
I: *nodding* Aaayt.
M: Okay, let's count the bears on the other pages too. *turns to next page, containing only one bear*
M: *pointing to single bear* One.
I: TWO!
M: *holding up three fingers now* Three?
I: Foooah!
M: Five...
I: Fiiiieee.... SICK!
M: Seven?
I: AAAYT AYT AYT AYT AYT. Nein. *stares in confusion at the little blue cloud of smoke as it puffs from her mother's ears*
Trust me, she didn't mean "nine." She was saying "no" in German because she was surprised to note that my brain had exploded at her shocking display of intelligence, and also because she's freaky like that.
Baby genius.

Iris is Awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd did you mean 17 days or 17 hours?
Oh, I am sooo behind. I just checked the dates of your post. I didn't realize that they went back to school so early. I'm sorry Iris didn't last a month before getting sick. Poor girl!
ReplyDeleteI plan for Iris to help Grandma with her math and reading, it has been way too long since I went to school. No doubt she will be a baby genius, just look at her mother and father! Love, Grandma K
