Amazing Memory

Tonight I was laying with Paige in her bed and we were discussing her going to 1st grade in a few weeks. After we talked about how she is excited and can't wait to see her teacher she asks when she is going to get her shots. I say you don't need to get shots. She then reminds me that last year before she went to school she had to get shots. I tell her that you only have to get them before you start kindergarten. She then tells me that she was so happy that she didn't need to get shots and that she got four shots last year and had a bird band-aid where the shots were. What kid remembers stuff like that. It has been over a year since she got those shots. This kid amazes me sometimes. I just hope she uses her amazing memory to help her in school. I always thought of myself has having a pretty good memory, especially with remembering people and their names. John also shares this gift . We have both discussed how sometimes we feel pretty awkward in situations where we remember someone and their name and why we know them. To only find out the other person has no idea who we are. But my memory does not hold a candle to Paige's. I guess she got my memory and her dad's so it is doubly good!
