Austen seems so grown up as she approaches 4. She buckles herself
into her car seat. Changes her clothes all by herself in the morning
and evening. She talks and explains her feelings when she’s having a
meltdown, instead of just screaming. “You made me sad because you
didn’t get me a quesadilla. I need to watch Curious George so I can
calm down.”
Her questions and insights often stun mommy, who is no dunce. About
Gage facing backwards in car, “Gage could watch the video too, if he
turned his head” and “Why does he have to face that way?”
