Maymay and I were watching Dr. Who, episode Hungry Earth, and the Doctor said something that made my kiddo happier than a frog in a pond full of lilypads. He looked up at a random townsperson who said he wasn't making any sense and said, "I always make sense. You're just not keeping up."
Maymay kept pointing to the TV and nodding her head so furiously that I was pretty sure she was going to cause herself some sort of injury. She was thrilled to have someone understand her, even if it was only a scripted television show.
After considering this all day I have come to the realization that I have dropped the proverbial ball yet again. My kiddo struggles to have things makes sense, to explain what she's thinking or feeling. Sometimes words don't work for her and she shows me with her emotions. Actually things make perfect sense to her. It's me that needs to catch up.
