We have achieved object permanence: the skill which allows a small child to scream with displeasure whenever a desired (usually contraband) item is removed and hidden, because said child now realizes that the object still actually EXISTS when it can't be seen!
We witnessed this first hand at dinner tonight, when taking my car keys away from Gracie and attempting to replace them with an appropriate chewthing resulted in hollering and wailing as if her ARM had been physically removed.
Now, she's done this before, but now you can tell that she is smart enough to be mad that not only did you take something fun from her, but that you still HAVE the item and refuse to give it back. Great. Just thought I'd share.

Hehe, you have fun with that! :)
hahaha - here comes the "mommy phase". Before long she is going to scream her head off when YOU leave the room (if she isn't already doing so)
LOL! it's kind of a bummer when it gets harder to outsmart them.
