It is amazing to me how good my 2 year old's memory already is at this age.
We have a Red Robin really close to our house and we get coupons a lot for it, so we end up going there 2-3 times a month. Usually, even when Matty was a little baby who could barely hold his head up, the Red Robin employees would give him a balloon. He has always loved looking at balloons and now he loves chasing them around the house and watching them float above his head.
The last several times we have pulled in to Red Robin's parking lot Matty instantly recognizes where we are and says "Boon!!!" This is how he pronounces balloon. He recognizes that he always gets a balloon when he comes to this restaurant and he recognizes that we are at that restaurant before we even get out of the car. I seriously underestimate his ability to retain things, because this amazes me.
I am not bragging about my child, believe me, I think this ability to put things and places together is a very common skill for kids this age. However, I am still amazed by how much a child grows and changes in such a short amount of time. I wish I could learn at that capacity and speed. Unfortunately, that will not happen, yesterday it took me 30 minutes to figure out that the DVD Steve had recorded for me didn't have sound because, it just didn't have sound. This was discovered after I unplugged and plugged in 86 different wires and after I cursed at the TV numerous times. Then I put a different DVD in and discovered nothing was wrong with the sound to begin with....brilliant, I know.
Thank God, my child seems to have much more advanced skills than I do when it comes to figuring things out. And thank God, my child loves Red Robin, because I love their grilled salmon sandwich... Yummy!!!
