When Alex was a baby, we couldn’t wait for her to learn new skills. Due to her medical complexities, we were afraid to hope for what she will be able to do. Her many limitations were inevitable. We didn’t expect half of the things that she can accomplish now. One of those new skills that she has picked up recently is her fixation with turning the lights off. I guess she is learning at an early age how to conserve energy!
Initially, I didn’t think she would get tall enough to do that.. I didn’t imagine that she would half run and half skip from switch to switch and mess with those lights. She must have strong night vision since she does this constantly every evening specially when mommy and daddy are eating dinner or washing the dishes. The sweet child thinks we should be having a candle lit dinner. Even though this has become somewhat of an annoying habit, I still can’t complain. I think of times long ago when she couldn’t crawl until she was over two and couldn’t walk till she was nearly five. Every skill, no matter how small or insignificant, is a huge accomplishment. Maybe she thinks we should be having a romantic dinner, I just hope that she is not hoping for a baby sister or brother because that store closed a long time ago!
