Astonished

Today at lunch Autumn made a totally random comment about using knife to plant plants. I figured that she must have seen Tutu do that at daycare and said that my grandma used to plant her plants that way. Autumn asked, "Grandma Nona?" I explained to Autumn that she hasn't met this grandma because she went to heaven before Autumn was born. Then she asked, "Does Grandpa Alfred have dollies?" We said that yes there are dollies at their house. Then she asked, "do they have hats?" Our jaws dropped because she must be remembering the last time we were at their house - in July. Yes, they do have hats. Grandma has a couple of dolls that stay on the couch that have crochet hats that Autumn plays with when we are there. She kept going, "and they had a stunk?" A what? "A stunk" Oh, a skunk. Aaron, Autumn and Grandpa drove the 4 wheeler around and there as a recently dead very stinky skunk that she remembered. I continue to be in awe at her little memory - I never dreamed that she would be able to recall specific memories from 6 months ago back when she was 21 months old! She remembers lots of other things that surprise me, but this is the first time it has been something a long time ago that we haven't talked about since. We aren't going to be able to slip anything by her... (-:
