On Sunday morning we took M on a horse and buggy ride through Central Park. She loves pointing out horses (and cows, as she calls the white ones) so we thought this would be a big hit - and it was!
Later Sunday M and I went to Guilford to see family. R is on deadline, so it was our little mom/daughter adventure.
From the moment we got to my mom's house until we said goodbye to my Dad and P, M was a full on chatterbox. Endless gibberish and lots of cousin, frog, dog, Seesa (for the dog, Misa), Sheep (for the dog who looks like a sheep), "boo box" (for tool box), "thank you", "I got it", "I love you", shouting out animals for Old MacDonald, and on and on... A similar thing happened a few weeks ago when we visited R's family. It's as if the combination of new surroundings and more love than she knows what to do with is like sun and water for a plant - and suddenly she is the plant in one of those sped up plant growth movies, the high speed being the actual. It's awesome to watch. And a little exhausting, so I end with pictures...
