Listening Skills

Okay, so I've been having issues lately with Emma and her listening skills. I know my mom will laugh at this post, because she always claimed I had selective hearing. Whenever she'd want me to do something I conveniently wouldn't be able to hear her. I don't remember anything like that though. All I remember was being the perfect child. =) Okay, so now you're all laughing. But Emma is so wierd sometimes. I'll ask her to pick something up off the floor and give it to me, and she'll look around for it and sometimes never get it. It's almost as if she doesn't see it, but that's not it. According to doctors so far she has perfect vision like her Mama, but she'll practically trip over the object before "seeing" it to get it. And it's not as though I'm asking her to get something she's not familiar with... it's always something she knows like her sippy cup! What the???!! But then she'll have a moment like she did yesterday when she picked a cheerio off the floor (I hadn't swept up her breakfast yet) and put it in her mouth and made a yummy sound. I told her not to put food in her mouth that had been on the floor, and she promptly spit it back out. She baffles me. For someone with perfect vision and perfect hearing she sure has a funny way of showing it. Are all kids like this or is it just mine? You know, if it's just mine maybe don't tell me so I can still live in the dillusional world I've created where my daughter is perfectly normal... just like her Mom. =)
