Every day I'm getting smarter and smarterer. It's not my fault though, I'm not even trying very hard. It's like I'm some kind of knowledge camel endlessly drinking from the ocean of wisdom, except I'm not a camel and I don't need as much water.
It used to be that when I'd learn a new trick it was something really newsworthy. Like I'd make a noise or smile and there'd immediately be a piece all about it. Nowadays there just aren't enough hours in the day to document all my discoveries and inventions.
In any given day my motor skills, speech, and reasoning skills jump by leaps over mounds, even if my use of simile, metaphor and hyperbole may not. Of course I am still working on my speling and all that, but it will come in time. I take on everything as a new adventure and welcome anything that may teach me something new, interesting or prettyful.
I can recognize shapes and try to put them inside other similar shapes. I take things apart and try to put them back together (though the orange peel pulled a Humpty-Dumpty on me and wouldn't go back together again). When I crave my own way I make every attempt I know to get it. When that fails, I sometimes make up new ways. That's innovation, baby.
At the rate I'm learning new things I estimate I'll know everything there is to know in the universe by the time I'm about 13 years old. And according to experts, I'll even act like it.
