The things she learns

We discovered that Macey loves push cars like this one. Every time we've been at friends houses who have them she loves them. So I decided I needed to find one for her. I checked on craigslist to see if I could find one, but they weren't much cheaper then the ones at the store. The next day as I was taking the garbage out, guess what I saw next to the dumpster? You guessed it. This car. (For those who know Alan and I, you won't be surprised what I did.) It had some peeling stickers on it and the plastic was faded from sun, but it looked fine other then that. I waited a few day just to make sure no kid left it there on accident, and then I took it! It's now Macey's all time favorite toy.

In my defense, those of you who are thinking what a horrible mom I am for giving my daughter something from the garbage, it was actually next to the garbage and I gave it a good cleaning before I let her touch it.

Which brings me to the title of my post. "the things she learns". I used disinfectant wipes to clean it up. The next day Macey got into her diaper wipes pulled one out, ran over to her car and began wiping it down. It's amazing how much kids notice and copy.

Here is just another example of what kids copy. Macey found a calculator we had laying around and next thing I know she's walking around holding it on her ear and jabbering away. I guess it does kind of look like a cell phone. I guess this is what we have to look forward to when she's a teenager.
