Quick learners becoming more vocal

The girls are picking up new tricks and understanding surprisingly quickly. They are also beginning to understand that somethings don't work out as planned, and they don't like that. Think about that: they are forming future expectations of their actions as a benchmark against which to be disappointed when they don't pan out. Who taught them this? How would you teach it, if it had to be taught?

Case in point. We have a glass-top table. Camy used to stand under it and try to finger all the different objects she saw from her vantage point - content to simply look and see the different objects. Now she understands that all those objects are on top of the glass. She has also learned that Halloween candy is exceedingly desirable. Combine this with her new-found willingness to express any fret with crying, and that leads you to the pictures below.

So close, but just out of reach - even though in plain sight. We have all been there at different points in life on different magnitudes of disappointment. Welcome to the club, kid.
