glimmer of memory

a few weeks ago we got a wonderful surprise in the mail… a DVD of photos from Q's oldMassachusetts daycare.  i had Q sit on my lap to watch it.  he had this weird look of partial recognition on his face, but every time i asked him if he remembered his old friends he said no.  i pointed out the pictures of him too, and he kept saying, "that not quentin!"  but then, the photos of one of his last days there came up.  the fire truck had come to visit.  all of a sudden you could see it in his face.  he totally remembered.  he said, "i was afraid of the water" when looking at a photo of the fire hose.  he pointed out his friends in the photos and then started asking when we would go play with them again.  mrow.
