There were a couple of interesting incidents in the past couple of days, that demonstrated her memory skills! Yesterday, we were at our friend Laurel's birthday party. Laurel just turned 1, and has the usual selection of books, including one that had a small piano attached to it, and pages full of musical notes inside. Norah, and my friend Sue looking through the book and Sue flipped a page and Norah 'named that tune', so to speak - without any discernable visual clues, like a picture. Then, she did it again! Sue, a school teacher, was baffled! We were too, but we realized we must be missing a piece of the puzzle - perhaps they had that book at school or something. It wasn't until this morning that we put it all together. We had been visiting at this same house the week before, when another friend was in town, and she had spent a few minutes with Norah and this same book - and from this, she remembered it a week later!
Then, this morning, it was raining... as we walked out to the car, Norah tells me she needs her "Hello Kitty" umbrella - which we bought well over a month ago and has been hidden in a closet ever since, waiting for the snow to end and April showers to begin. I was so amazed that she remembered it that I actually went back into the house to get it.
A Steel Trap I tell ya
