And just for the record, I have to say that you are so much more tuned in to developing character and personality than I was. It's not that I wasn't, I think, but that I wasn't as finely discriminating. Here's what I remember observing about you: never wanting to be the leader of others, but never ever ever willing to be led; fine motor coordination pretty bad (forget about building blocks or stacking things); dead-on mimicry; very quick perception of incongruity--readiness to laugh...definitely a "merry" personality; seduced by stories (weird REM always when you were processing concepts); running, tripping, falling in that order; bored by television and other passive entertainments--always directly questioning and interacting; not very interested in dolls or animals or imaginary characters or setting up little houses/scenarios or doing dress up or dragging purses around, but obsessed with books and stories and characters and concepts. Well, I guess that's enough for one comment--but what fun for me to conjure up the past and remember so clearly those first years with you. I think this means I'm ready to slide down the second childhood slope! Well, this was just a wonderful post.
