Three Reasons I Know My Daughter is a Genius

1. The other day we were leaving Baskin Robbins after having ice cream with friends and we saw a horse trailer in the parking lot. Bailey has never seen a real horse so we watched it for a moment and then I said we should head home to tell Daddy about the horsey. So we drive home and chat about other things, sing to music, etc. We get home and Bailey goes right up to her Dad and says "Daddy, horsey! Horsey!" What a memory!
2. Same day I went into the kitchen to take out the trash. Bailey was watching the dogs out the sliding door and Brent was in the back. I yelled to Brent I was taking the trash outside. When I returned Bailey had pulled a new trash bag from the cabinet under the sink and was attempting to shake it out to put in the trash can. Such powers of observation!
And finally 3: Bailey is a big fan of the book "No, David" written and illustrated by David Shannon. Last night Bailey was going through the books on her shelf. She pulled one off that she has never read, "How I Became a Pirate." She looked at the cover and exclaimed "No David!" And sure enough, the book was illustrated by David Shannon! She recognized the style of the artist!
Like I said, genius...
