Just Proud Parents?

Matt Here.

It seems like every parent is convinced that their child is exceptionally bright or talented in some way, and that is usually a good thing. Having parents with high expectations , even if the parents are a little disillusioned and the kid really isn't particularly bright. Last night Christa and I had a conversation about Alexis and whether she really was as smart as we thought she was, or is it just that we are over excited parents. One great thing about Alexis is that she expresses everything that pops into her mind, like in the Old McDonald video below, so she is always talking and interacting with people around her. Christa brought up a good point and reminded me of something cool this week. When Christa called the pizza place they asked for her phone number. Christa said, "967 (pause) 96 (pause)," and then Alexis, out of nowhere, said the last two numbers. Needless to say, Christa was a little surprised. She told me the story when I got home and when I asked Alexis what her phone number was, she told me the whole thing without any hesitation. How's that for smart?
