Holy Toast Brain Baby
On Thursday Kurt and I witnessed something amazing. We each had a different take on it, but both recognized it as something worth noting. Sophia has a cube with shapes cut out in which you insert plastic pieces of that shape into the cube. She doesn’t have the certain shapes fit in certain spaces part down yet (at all), but she will open the top of the cube and dump the shapes out and maybe put a couple back in. She has also taken to placing other toys into the cube. This is not the amazing part.
The amazing even happened in the pre-child proofed kitchen. Baby genius butt-scooted across the kitchen and opened the bottom drawer that holds flashlights, batteries, the two pairs of scissors that we can never find when we want them, and my holy toast imprinter. Sophia grabbed the holy toast stamp and butt scooted out of the kitchen and into the living room. She sat there for a moment played with the holy toast stamp, then butt scooted back to the kitchen, put the stamp back in the drawer, and closed the drawer. Kurt was thinking, “oh my god, she remembered where it went.” I was thinking, “Awesome, that kid has no excuse for having a messy room, EVER!!”
The kitchen has since been baby proofed and now every time I need something from a bottom cupboard I forget that I have to push a lever down as I open it and so it doesn’t open for me on the first try. GODDAMNIT!! And as if that isn’t enough, Sophia got back at us for baby proofing the kitchen. She hid my keys. *grumble* Kurt likes to give her my house keys to play with, but doesn’t always retrieve them back from her. Yesterday I had to go hunting for them. It took about half an hour to find them. They were in her shapes cube.

So glad you left a comment on my blog today so I could come over and fall in love with yours!
DO you really think that guy’s biggest problem is chest hair? I truly think the piercing makes the moobs look like saggy door knockers!
Love the name and tagline of your blog!!
Will be back for sure.

I remember our joy when my oldest crawled across the living room and turned on the stereo. Then her tried to change stations-he was 7 months old. We didn’t even know he knew what it did.
He’s 23 now and still obsessed with anything mechanical or electrical. His father and I knew years ago we had a “baby genius” on our hands…

That’s very funny – all of it – from the “adult proof” kitchen (which we also have) to the keys in the shape cube to the Holy Toast Imprinter. Is that a Confirmation thing?! *snicker snicker*

Hallie – Thank you
hahaha saggy door knockers – No, the biggest problem isn’t the hair. It’s really the moobs that are the worst but that much hair just grosses me out.

Haha that’s all pretty hilarious. I love that you have the Holy Toast thing, too!
We haven’t yet baby proofed our kitchen but we need to. My son gets into EVERYTHING and it’s a constant “NO!” from me and running over to stop him from pulling all of the towels out of the drawer or jamming his fingers in the cabinet door.

Holy Toast batman! I feel famous. Really I have no idea why you still have it, but now I know. You were waiting for her first religious experience. And she promptly put it back.
