batteries and memories

he heard a bird call yesterday, but he didn't hear it today, and he told me, "that bird needs new batteries."

the other day, he told me he threw up today. i asked him more about it because he really hadn't thrown up for a long time. he pointed to a particular orange mixing bowl that was drying in the drying rack. i realized he was remembering when he got sick back in January. i had him throw up in the orange mixing bowl back then because we couldn't get to the bathroom quick enough, and a plastic bag or trashcan just wasn't working for me (the throw up was very forceful and sudden). anyway, he didn't even know how to say "throw up" back then, and he certainly wasn't speaking sentences, but he still had a memory of it. amazing. he also told me about how he slept on the floor. he remembers! not a good memory exactly, but still. :)
