She is so freekin' smart!

So lets start by saying I am addicted to Coke, pop coke that is.  Not even the diet type.  Straight up, Coca-Cola!  Happened post-kids.  Need for caffeine.  Not the healthiest beverage of choice, but it's my little morning pick me up.  The kids are obsessed with the can, why are all kids seemingly obsessed with a shiny can?  From my last grocery trip, still sitting in our entryway is an opened 24 pack of Coke.  Upstairs fridge is full & I just haven't gotten around to taking it down to the basement fridge. 

So what does this have to do with Livi being smart?  Well, today I was baking cookies & the kids were playing in the dining room.  Just in conversation (as much conversation as I can have with them) I said... "oh I'd love a pop.  Liv you should go get mommy a pop."  And just continued to go about my business.

I heard some comotion, banging on the stairs.  So I went to see what the heck was happening.  And up the stairs from the entryway came Livi, can of pop in hand.  Brought it right over to me.  I was SHOCKED!  Amazed.  Sure I know she knows what a pop is (is that bad?) & sure I know she follows directions.  But I never imagined just in that little conversation she would follow through going all the way down the stairs to the entryway, dig into the little opening on top of the box to pull out a can, climb back up stairs can in hand, all to bring me a pop!  Brilliant!  Not even any spare can mess out of the box.  Amazing.

Something that I could get used to!!
