Little Toad

Over the last few months, Cassandra has impressed us many times learning new skills and solving problems.  The first time she leaned over to see around a corner was really a thrill.  Last night, she finally picked up on clapping.  She now claps for us, smiling the entire time.  I'm not sure if she is proud of herself or thinks you are always supposed to smile when clapping. 

<sigh> Today she managed another "skill."

Cassandra was getting herself into trouble by climbing on something she shouldn't.  I said her name.  She continued on.  I said her name again.  No response.  I said it a third, fourth, eventually tenth time.  This whole time she was frozen as if to make it impossible for me to see her.  I say her name an eleventh time and she slowly turns to sit-up and face me and gives me a look like, "This isn't the Baby you are looking for, move along."  I asked her what she thought she was doing and she just starts to smile.  This is why I think she is a little toad.
