Yesterday, I told Rebel that we needed to find Lily’s little pink kitty. I hooked him up with a leash, and he made a beeline to where Lily had walked, and I found the kitty. He didn’t exactly lead me to it, but he went and sniffed her footprints. It was pretty cool. On Saturday morning when Lily woke up, I had her covered with the giraffe blanket, and she said, “The light color of this blanket is wool. Wool comes from sheep. The dark spots are from a DOG!” It was pretty funny. She was so serious.

And also,

Cirdan had lots of fun with Rebel, and Rebel is really good with him. At one point, Rebel came up close to Cirdan, and Cirdan was taking a close look at Rebel’s eye and his nose. Rebel sat very still, then moved off when he had enough of Cirdan’s attention.

Cirdan has been saying things for a couple of months now. Here is a rough estimate of his words so far, arranged by frequency:

Mama (Mama) — 67,417
Nana (Liliana) — 521
Baba (Beren) — 165
Pbbb (ball, book, or potty) — 142
Maa (match) — 113
Abbaba (Dad) — 84
Hmnh (affirmative) — 58
Gma (grandma) — 6
Dada (Dad) — 4

I know what we should do. Let’s fill the house with love. Let’s fill it up so much that it comes SHOOTING out the chimney and fills up the WHOLE WORLD!
