true story: the creature needs to spend more time with grown-ups
As we walked around the neighborhood today, Baby pointed and grunted and I named objects as indicated. Street light! Fire hydrant! Leaves! Palimpsest!
(It wasn't really a palimpsest, to be fair--it was more like a rubbed-out stripe of paint on the sidewalk, probably marking a gas line. But still.)
UPDATE: You'd think that it would be impossible to stick a pink-and-green-flower baby barette in your hair--you know, as a way to show a 16-month-old how barettes work--and then forget about it until you were in the checkout line at the supermarket. But still.
