Today I helped Bess play with trucks in her new seat and then helped mom marinate some yogurt-lemon-pepper chicken for tomorrow’s grill.
They say that one day a toddler’s vocabulary exploded and today might have been the day. A few if my newer-ish favorites: all gone, school bus, helicopter, back hoe, bulldozer, puzzle, bathroom, bedroom, outside, t-shirt, phone, yogurt, spoon, potty, pee pee, love you, thank you, welcome, night night, amen, and ROSA and YAN my two weekend visitors.
…know to hold the pole on the subway, know yellow tractors from yellow taxis, and don’t leave home without their highlighter wand.
Met a new friend on the playground. We watched mowers, threw a ball, and shoved leaves and sticks down a grate. All my mom could hear from her removed spot on the playground was toddler gibberish and high pitched giggles. I finally found someone I can really talk to.
They look like tractors and they are awesome. We all just wanted a front row seat to watch it cut grass.
“Hi Tractor.”
