Some of the light switches in our house are just above Lexi's head. She can easily reach them and if she lines up her finger right, can push the switch to the other position. These switches are at this level in all of the bedrooms, near where they think you will put the bed, so you don't have to get out of bed to turn off or on the light. Sunday morning, Lexi woke early and so I brought her into our room. She laid in bed with us for a while but then wanted to get down. We are hoping that she will find something to quietly play with while we get a little more sleep - or at least keep our eyes shut for a while longer. A couple of minutes later, it is suddenly blindingly light in the room. Lexi had found the lightswitch. I reached over and turned it off and she promptly turned it on again. It seems that she is a little TOO clever sometimes...
I arrived home late Saturday afternoon after being gone a week. Lexi looked at me blankly and when I picked her up, started WAILING. It took quite a bit to get her calmed down and to help her figure out that she knew me. Kind of makes one feel bad when one's own child forgets they exist in a span of a week.

It could be that Lexi was just saving up all of her sad moments of the week for her mommy and wanted to "tell" you all about them :-)
I send Calla to the park with a babysitter twice a week so I can get a little work done. She wails when leaving in the stroller without me, but then when she comes back, acts completely indifferent. These crazy little kids of ours... Love the light switch story - our aren't that low, but if they were, she'd be all over them!
