larryhammerA cold snap this morning: no frost pebbling the car roofs, but only because it's too dry to condense. The austerity of winter approaches, and TBD objects to this, at least at night: a blanket is Unacceptable and we're still figuring out what PJs doesn't cause overheating at bedtime and shivering at the mercury dip of 5am.
Words, words. TBD is working on this again: fourth word is dog, and we're working on cat and Totoro. This last is currently said only during the ending theme song for My Neighbor Totoro and comes out as "to-to-to" (or "to-to-to-to-to-to-to"), often accompanied with index-fingers-in-the-air gestures. TBD recently recognized a request to bring me a dustpan made without gestures: first puzzledly pointing me to where it's usually kept, in the corner next to me, and when I showed it was across the room (where it'd been left), TBD walked over and brought it to me.
Drawings are recognized, even very cartoony ones, with dogs, cats, and birds as beings of interest -- sometimes naming the dog. TBD claps hands after accomplishing a task that's been worked on, such as finally figuring out how to get a triangle or square through the shape-sorter. Books as complicated as Goodnight Moon can be sat through, if there's enough interest in the pictures. Other good toys right now are wooden blocks and Mega Bloks, especially if an adult plays with.
Bonus link on account of the cold: flyover of the frigid hydrocarbon lakes of Titan, based on Cassini radar data. (via)
