Little J and Nana had a great visit. They shook hands, played with blocks, and conversed (Ah [I] SEE [sit] Down, No AH, see down, See Down, Nana!). Now that Nana is at home, J gazes lovingly at a photo of Nana in the morning. It’s cute and sad.
Last night, we had a golden moment. J had eaten all of her dinner except a bite of rice and was beginning to get restless.
Me: Do you want to get down?
J: No…Down!
Me: Do you want rice?
J: No rice!
Me: Water?
J: No water!
Me: Out?
J: No…out! More Chicken!
Me: Of course you can have more chicken! What a good job you did!
I love verbal communication.
One thing that my mom finds hilarious is J’s desire to clean up. She sings “clean up” and mutters back! Back! To herself as she puts the books on the shelf. This morning, after the bath, she gave me her towel and said, “BACK!” It’s mystifying to me, the messiest woman I know, to have a daughter who likes to tidy things up. But it’s fun and I’ll take it.

So many new words! I can’t wait to see her. I am going to try to leave at 5 tomorrow, if humanly possible. Which probably means more like 5:30. I’ll text you when I actually get out the door.

She sounds so cute!
