We have our Easter card from Grandma Sue and Grandpa Paul up on the refrigerator. On the front is this family picture, taken when Walt was four months old. Last night I showed Walter the picture and named everyone in it, one by one. He watched intently and followed along with his eyes. He gave a happy shimmy for Grandpa Paul and a little smile for Hank the Dog. When I finished naming everyone, he put his hand on Grandma Sue and gave her a little pat with his palm. "Umma," he said.

Really? WOW! What a gift!
He did it twice! Very deliberately, like he wanted me to know. We'll keep reinforcing it!
This is beautiful. I like that it brings memories of Sue's mom, too. It's a meaningful moment.
