Life's lessons: What she can do

1. A one year old can't play Wii games (we've tried).
   
2. She can't fold a fitted bed sheet even though she seems to want to.
   
3. She can't say the final consonants of things, but mommy understands when she wants her "du" or her "do," to be held by "da" or to take off her "saaaaa."
   
4. She doesn't say "mommy" because really she doesn't need to.
   
5. But she can pull anything off any surface in the house, no matter how much you think it's protected.
   
6. She can sign "more," "all done," and "baby." She can sign other things too, but mostly she just wants to sign "baby."
   
7. She can dance if she wants to. She can leave her friends behind. Wait, I got a little off track there.
   
8. She can hand something to me or daddy if we ask for it. And if she feels like it.
   
9. She can hand me the dishes out of the dishwasher. (Sa-weeeeeeet. I win at parenting.)
   
10. And she can run across the room at me full speed with her arms wide open, laughing hysterically as she throws herself into my arms.
    
11. This mom thing? Is a pretty good gig.
