A giant leap for the baby's intellectual development...

This morning, after my shower, I had my hair up in a towel. I went to pick up Anna from the bed where she was lying, she took one look at my face, then looked up at the towel, and then looked again at my face, and started to WAIL. She was really freaking out. I grabbed her and started to cuddle her to comfort her, and she just cried harder. Then I figured it out. She thought that I was a stranger! I took the towel off and showed her that it was just mommy, but it still took her a couple of minutes to calm down. She's developed to the point where she recognizes me. Its just sad the way that we had to find that out. In other news, Anna and I got to spend the whole day together. Her first day home sick from school since she started a month ago. Lots more to follow, I am sure.
