Cameron has finally decided she can wear her bike helmet! Her only complaint was stopping to load up the farm share. My only complaints were a) bungees that were too short! b) an expected closed gate that was a bear to maneuver through on our way home!
Tonight, Tom rode the Yuba to HAT’s house where the kids and I went for dinner (after Mandarin class)–my car smells like it’s burning rubber whenever we drive it now, so it is completely out of commission. Tom had to commute by bus today so I could have the car for Music Together and kid drop-off and pick-up and that left him without a car when he got home (he apparently didn’t get any of my messages asking him if he needed a ride home)!
Anyway, Cameron must have recalled how much she enjoyed her last bike ride because she wanted to climb right on when she saw it!
Speaking of our little gal, she continues to communicate up a storm! Now we have signs (and sounds) for elephant and ball as well as “yah’s” accompanied by vigorous, full-body nodding (we love it!), “woo woo’s” for trains, and, my favorite, “uh oh, ettio” for “uh oh, spaghettio”.
We’re starting to see a little bickering now–one kid wants Toy A, so the other one does and they say, “no no no no no” to each other and grab or try to hug it to chest to keep it at bay. Kinda cute, kinda not-so-fun-sometimes! Overall, though, they’re still into the spontaneous hugs and kisses and they still brim over with enthusiasm upon reuniting and/or waking, so it’s all pretty good…!
