The other day I asked our now 15 month old to go get a book and to bring it to me, and you know what happened? He did it. I was amazed. He understands things, not everything mind you, or at least he doesn't let on that he does. But more and more he knows what's going on and understands what we're saying. It's really quite fascinating.
I enjoy my family a lot. Sometimes more than others, of course, but it's really cool to grow and change as individuals within the larger context of a family unit. I too am growing up, learning new things all the time about myself and the world I live in. I may be farther along than our son, but there are still many things that he teaches me. One of them is how to think outside the box. The way he connects the dots in his mind is not always the way we would do so, but it is often more interesting and creative, even if he doesn't realize it. I guess it mainly comes because he doesn't realize it...

Oh Doug, you got spammed! Anyway, I wanted to comment about how inside the box the phrase outside the box is.
Yeah, I've been spammed a few times, but I'm usually able to delete them before anyone notices it. It's kind of annoying. Good call on the outside the box thing. Just how else would you say it?
Original? Innovative? Novel? Imaginative?
