ABC's! (and yeah, I got stood up)

This mama is proud. My daughter has recognized that letters are letters. Ah! Here's how I know she knows:

Last night we were doing the bed-time-story routine, and one of Evelyn's latest "things that she does" is point to pictures in the book and ask, "What's that?" even though she knows what it is. And she does this while I'm trying to read, so it can get annoying, but I put up with it. She's two. And cute. So she'll point to a flower and ask "What's that?" and I'll say. "A flower," but if she points to a tree and I say, "That's car," she says, "No, tree!" in a voice that's like gosh mom you're stupid that's a tree duh! 


Anyway, so we were doing that and for the first time yesterday she pointed at the block of words on the page and asked, "What's that?" and I said, "Those are words." And she paused for a moment and said, "ABC's?" And my stomach did a flippity-flop and I said, "Yes, Evelyn! ABC's!" and I gave her a big hug and told her she is sooooo smart.

And she's sleeping in for me today, so nice. Monday morning has never felt so easy. Especially after my Sunday afternoon. A model I was supposed to do a photo shoot with totally bailed on me. No phone call, no word. Just totally stood me up. I drove over 100 miles. To take zero photos. Wtf is wrong with people? My dear girl will know much, much better than to be so rude.
