Children are much more perceptive than we give them credit for. Gwen got up at 6 am Easter morning and walked into our room. While there was some seepage of sunlight through the blind, the room was essentially dark. That notwithstanding, as she passed between the dresser and the foot of our bed, her eyes were irresistibly drawn to, and subsequently fixed upon, her Easter basket. Is it that she could smell the candy? Or just that any small change to the regular vista attracts her radar? The two year brain is a marvel. Because, as it is, she already doesn't see books that need to be replaced, toys that need to be put away, or indeed her fork right next to her plate as she digs into her mashed potatoes with her fingers.
