Babies under two are way smarter then we think

Addy and I were hanging out in my favorite chair last night when Yak (our black lab) came over for a scratch. I rubbed his ears and remembered out loud that I needed to clean his ears again this week. Addy suddenly got off the chair, went to the kitchen, and returned with a bottle of Oti-cleans dog ear cleaner.

Mind you Addy has only ever seen me clean Yaks ears once and I never made a big deal about it. The fact that she remembered which drawer the solution was in is impressive. I'm also very impressed that she understood what cleaning yaks ears involved and obviously followed a relatively complex train of thought to come to the conclusion that we needed to get the solution.
