Magic Baby Powers

My two year old has magic powers. Forget unicorns. She does not even need a horn to do her tricks. If she closes her eyes, she becomes invisible so that even though I am telling her NOT to climb up onto the countertop for the 40,000 time, I cannot actually see her. Because she has her eyes closed. Magic. Likewise, when she walks backwards it does not count as disobedience. Because when you walk backwards no one can tell that you are moving. OOOOOHHHHHHHHH! Look out Leprechans! My two year old has some magic on you. I can be right in the middle of telling her NOT to go upstairs and she just steps back a few spaces. And to me she just looks like an angel with a sparkling halo, feet firmly planted just where they were. Because backwards is not real. Oh the joys of toddler magic. Another one of her little secrets is that if she lays down on the floor, of say, the car, you cannot see her. Yep, she vanished into this air. So when I call for her to get out of the truck. Or ask her to come wash her hands and she just DROPS to the floor like a tornado drill, amazingly she can do whatever she wants. Because I cannot even see her. She is gone. Crazy, huh. I think the next time I have to pass through the perfume section of the mall I will do waking backwards with my eyes closed before I fall to the floor.
