I've known for awhile now that Little Pie has inherited my incredible sense of direction (yes, I'm bragging about my sense of direction...it's good). In fact, both girls are pretty good: they know when we are pulling into our neighborhood (either entrance) and say "HOME" really loud. They even know when we are at Nana and Papa's house, yelling "NANA HOME" really loud when we pull into the driveway.
But today was the day that I was truly impressed with Little Pie's skills. After nap we needed to head to Target for some much needed groceries, so as always, I informed the girls of our plan and put on their shoes . Little Pie wasn't paying attention to me and when she finally had her shoes on she kept saying "swim pond". I'm not sure why she said this because we weren't wearing swim suits, but she was quite sure we were going to see BFF and "play water swim pond". We got in the car and headed to Target. As we were sitting at a stoplight (going straight would get us to the swim pond, while turning left would bring us to Target), Little Pie was chattering away about the swim pond. When the light turned green, we turned left and Little Pie started protesting. "No! Swim pond!" I couldn't believe it! Seriously??? The swim pond was still a few miles away, but she knew going straight would get us there. I was so impressed!
Little Pie also impressed me last week with her incredible skills (she's only 21 months!!). We went to play with Penny and Dakota for awhile, and as we were leaving I told the girls we needed to go to Sam's Club. We headed to Sam's which was also in the same direction as home. We passed the first entrance into our neighborhood and Little Pie yelled, "no! home!!!". I explained we needed to go to Sam's first which seemed to satisfy her. But then we passed by the second entrance to our neighborhood and she again yelled, "no!! home!!!". Holy cow! I can't believe how observant she is!
We are never going to be able to pull one past Little Pie. She is always going to know where she is and where she is headed. There is no tricking this girl!!
That is truly amazing. I knew you had it, but I never noticed when your sense of direction really showed itself. (I guess at a hotel, maybe) So funny. It does show that she has good eyesight, too. That's good to know.
