  • "The one that's frustrated wants to eat."  This is what Madeleine said when I asked who wanted to eat lunch with me.  She had previously told me she was frustrated because I had tickled her when we played hide-and-seek.  (They were in the same hiding places, never moved, and just demanded that I find them over and over; it was getting dull; I tried to spice things up a bit.)  On the way downstairs she informed me that Big Brown Bear would make her "unfrustrated".  Thank goodness for Big Brown Bear.

    Grant is saying a lot more too.  Today he said something... um... I forget the noun, but it was followed by the word "want".  Something like "pretzel want" (I think it was probably that; he was demanding pretzels).  And he's really good at finishing the last words of lines in books.  In one counting book he says "that left.... " then he flips the page, looks at the number, says it loudly in his cutest voice, and it's adorable.  I have been trying to video a lot mroe with the ipod touch, which is perhaps one reason why I don't write as much.  I find myself narrating into the camera instead of writing in a blog.  I really need to go video him reading that book.  Maybe Brian will help me do it tonight.
