I was waiting in the checkout line at Meijer's on Sunday with my daughter, Abby. There was a woman in front of us busy buying her items. Her infant daughter was with her, hanging out in her car seat in the grocery cart.
Staring right at me, I couldn't help but start talking to her. I commented on all the groceries her mom had to buy, asked her whether she had any brothers or sisters, if she was enjoying the nice weather, and so on. She began waving her hands a little bit and I could see the corners of her mouth trying to move. She had so much she wanted to say!
Abby grabbed on to my arm, laughing nervously and lamented - "Mom!" I asked her, "Abby, are you embarrassed?" "Yes," she replied. I told her don't worry, I'm not crazy, I'm helping to foster this beautiful girl's brain development so that she enters kindergarten ready to learn!
