The other day the girls and I were over at a friends house for a jewelry party. Annie was excited about it for one because she likes jewelry and because it was a girl's only party. I think this confused her because she was happy that it was only girls, but then she kept saying, “I hope Patrick is there”. Once we got there and checked out the jewelry, Annie dug into a box of toys and found a board game about a bunch of different animals. She was looking through the game pieces and found one with a picture of a penguin. Not just an ordinary penguin…this one is called a Macaroni Penguin. She kept telling me this, and I kept ignoring her because I thought she was just talking nonsense...I mean what do macaroni and penguins have in common? So after a few times telling me what kind of penguin it was, I finally looked at what she had and read the title on the card…yes!, it was a Macaroni Penguin! Can you imagine my amazement? I’ve never even heard anyone say Macaroni and Penguin in the same sentence! So, Annie is apparently a genius in the penguin arena. And she is teaching others about it too. I told this story at work…and today one of my coworkers told me that thanks to Annie and her penguin knowledge, she got the $2000 Jeopardy question right last night!
Ps. Olivia is working on her brain powers too. This morning she couldn’t get the buttons on the clock radio to make any noise so she grabbed my hand and started to push the buttons with my finger. I was surprised by that too. Last night she was playing peek-a-boo with herself...super cute!
