With children you have no filter. The thoughts come out of their heads exactly as they think them. It's refreshing when you spend your day in a world where you so often have to guess what people really mean. Schuyler is a little girl now - bursting with thoughts and ideas and half-understood words and concepts. It's so lovely to watch what she does when we're not watching. Tonight, she 'read' a whole book. Page by page. If she turned over two pages by accident, she went back and inspected the missing image. Sometimes she'll just sing to herself or talk to the ceiling or bang a book against the table. And then she falls asleep. And there's nothing cuter in my life.
