Blowing My Mind

Last weekend, we took advantage of the nice weather and did a lot of work to improve the curb appeal of our old house. My main job was to keep Myla entertained while Matthew did the dirty work. She and I were hanging out on the back deck, and she started pointing to a certain spot on the river bank and saying, "Turtles? Where turtles?" She was pointing to the spot where we used to see dozens of turtles hanging out on logs when the river was low. But she hasn't lived in this house and certainly hasn't seen those turtles since early last fall, when she was about 16 months old! I couldn't believe that she remembered them, especially since she never seemed all that interested in them in the first place. Wow, kids are amazing.
