larryhammerAt 21 months old and 6 months with us, TBD is getting suddenly more verbal and more social: as in more words (including "no," "bubble," and the name of the neighbor's dog) and using them in front of other people -- including saying "Hi" to someone well-known and finally naming the dog when neighbor could hear. Daycare for a couple hours a day is probably an influence here. In general, though, all the signs are of more secure attachment, including wandering off into a crowd and confidently expecting to be followed. Oops.
Ever since returning to work, when I come home, TBD and I have gone for a walk through the neighborhood, wandering as the toddler commands -- exploring the nearby world. Lately, one common destination is the corner grocery, which happens to be a Korean market. While there, in addition to any supplies we might need, I pick up a packet of snack food, then we sit on the curb outside the store and consume it together. Yes, Asian snacks are not always the most healthy but this only a couple times a week -- and it's incredibly cute.
Still, people do give me a "Dad!" with a headshake.
Yesterday, I learned that I can divert TBD from going all the way to the store with a mandarin orange presented close to another suitable curb. Mandarins are ♥ in this house (TBD had five in a row, Saturday morning, and three more after nap). When they go out of season, probably Real Soon Now, we're going to have problems.
