No me cabe en la cabeza*

Some good friends came over to our place this afternoon . These are the people we tend to hang out with on a regular basis, so we see them fairly often.

One of them has a little one, about a year and a half younger than Matito. We have known this child since she was a few days old. Recently, it seems that every time I see her, she has about a thousand new things she has learned. In the span of only a couple of months, S. has gone from being a fairly helpless baby to being this amazing talking, walking, funny-face-making individual. Today she ran down the hallway after Matito!

Amazing! Was this Matito such a short time ago? How could that be?

I know it is nothing out of the ordinary, but each time I think about how much children have to learn between birth and five years old, my mind does flip-flops at the wonder of it all. It is so absolutely awesome, in the truest sense of the word.

* literally, "it does not fit in my head", basically equivalent to the English expression "I cannot wrap my mind around it".
