30 months - HAB

was teasing h about her typing out random letters this evening on the home computer. she usually churns out random letter combinations that i read out in the most incredulous tone and we all have a laugh over how the pronunciation goes.

this evening, i had been trying to get her to type out her name initially, but she insisted on typing "HAB" instead.

what's HAB? that's not a word!

yes it is! it's the naughty giant's one! in his house! then jack take and run run run!

oh, harp. (and this was after some processing on my end)

sometimes our adult minds are so fixated on linking everything we see or experience to what we know that we lose flexibility to "see". thank goodness for the eyes and mind of a child that reminds us to see beyond that.
