she really knows what she wants

and she knows how to get it. no, it's not some cheesy 80's sexy movie plot, but nissa's every day life.

last night, i was enjoying some pepper jack cheese its while i waited for nissa to be dropped off. when she came home, she pointed at the bowl (it's clear glass) and asked for some. assuming they were too spicy and she wouldn't like them, i poured her a bowl of cinnamon bunnies instead. ok, i gave her one to try and she seemed to like it as she walked away. i got busy doing something else and when i looked next, she had taken the bowl from off the counter where i had it, and put it down on the butcher block shelf, where she could reach it easily.

i finished up dinner (pasta salad), served two bowls for us and set them on the dining room table while i went to get our drinks. while in the kitchen, i heard one of the dining room table chairs being moved and when i came back into the dining room, nissa was sitting in my chair, helping herself to my bowl! i let her eat dinner in her chair without being strapped in; which worked ok, but she was constantly turning to face me, which made it easier to slide down. i'm not sure we're 100% ready to go without straps.

today, we spent the morning together (instead of friday) and i dropped her off at grandma and grandpa's. on the way there, she was pointing to the center console and asking for "tee". now that usually means tv (which can get a yes or no from us, depending on the time of day), but i think she meant radio. she didn't like riding in silence, she wanted some music! she is just too smart.
