brood

on our walks, when levi sees pearl, our fine little cocker spaniel, pooping, he says in his cute toddler voice “pearl is poopening.”

poopening.

actually, i think this happens when we play our hopping game. “dada hoppening!”

oh, and donkeys are “honkeys.”

i guess it is fun to talk about your kid. seems like every parent does it. sometimes we talk with other parents and it is a constant “my kid does x” … “oh, when blah does x he says y!” … “oh, instead of y our blah says z!”

frankly, hanging around anyone while on duty with your kid tends to lead to fragmented and low quality conversations. certainly not always… probably that is something i could work on… but i’d be foolish to complain. we do what we can, and we have great parent friends. what would we do without great friends and their great kids?
