Tidbits

Last week Toby and I picked our first pineapple from our very own yard. I put it on our table, and all afternoon Toby would point to it and say, "Papa uh mome." Sure enough, we dug into it after Jonathan came home from school. It was yummy!

Abbie's first tooth made its appearance yesterday. Thankfully, she wasn't excessively cranky, so maybe she'll have as easy a time with teething as Toby did. Here's hoping!

Both kids think it's great fun when Toby pushes Abbie around in the high chair.

I've been working on giving Toby an idea about sequence and progression. He likes to know what's coming next, so after lunch I'll tell him, "#1 wash hands; #2 use the bathroom, #3 go to sleep." (I really think naptime might be his favorite time of day based on how excited he gets about it.) He really gets into the numbers, repeating the steps, and moving along toward the final activity. Now this morning before he was even out of bed, he told me, "Na, mall. Doo, pizza!" Interpretation: First we go to the mall, then we get pizza. Sorry, buddy, it doesn't quite work that way. Nice try though. :)
