Clark, at 17months old, did the following cute/hilarious/brilliant things within the last few days:
1. I was driving along and he started chirping, “Park! Park!” from the backseat. He recognized the park that we’ve only walked or ridden our bikes to, out the car window, driving by all fast.
2. Later, I was loading him into his car seat and a nearby car honked. “Beep!’, he announced.
3. I locked myself out of the house and huffed, “Aw, Jeez!” You know what he did, right? Ahhjeezz! Ahhjeezz! Ahhjeezz!
4. His grandmother drives a light blue Volkswagon Bug. On walks, he’s started to notice Bugs of many other colors, pointing and saying “Nanny!”
5. But a Bug is a very distinctive car, you say. Well, today on a walk, he pointed at a blue Prius (mine is black) and said, “Mama!” Get out of town, right? A Prius looks roughly like a million other hatchbacks. When does he have time to notice what my car looks like? How does he understand that the Prius is *my* car?
6. He picked a dandelion and brought it to me, unprompted.
He sounds like such a joy, Jenny! What a sweetheart (and very clever too)! How amazing about the cars!
Gorgeous photo too – what an absolute cutie!
