I find it amusing how easily I can catch Kate unawares. I can see why kids think their moms have eyes on the back of their head, but they’ve got it wrong; it’s not another set of eyes, it’s really big ears!<\/p>\n
Kate will sometimes wander into the kitchen and I will let her be for a few minutes as long as I recognize the sounds, which is how it went yesterday. That one’s her little kitchen; that one is the broom; that one is her climbing in the big canvas bag. Silence – that always gets my attention. Then little noises I am not familiar with. I get up and walk into the kitchen to check on her and I see her crouched down on the other side of the kitchen, staring very intently at something. She’s poking and picking it up. I see her stand up, take a couple of steps, then that hand with whatever bit of dirt or whatnot held in her thumb and forefinger moves up up to her mouth. I’m standing right there<\/i> in the middle of the kitchen. She clearly doesn’t see me at all because when I gave a loud, “Uh-uh!” she startled so bad she almost fell down. There was a brief flicker of something across her face – maybe a “rats, foiled again!” – and then she walked over to me and held out her hand, smiling widely, as if this had been her plan all along.<\/p>\n
