People!

The other day on the bus, the funniest thing happened. Often we talk about people, like you will comment 'there's a lot of people on the bus' or 'people are going to sit in that seat'. Very often when we get off the bus, you'll shout, 'bye people!' I never thought too much about it. Until the other day.

We were on the bus, coming home from the Science Museum (which you absolutely loved!). And it started to get crowded, which is no big deal. A man sat in the seat next to me (we were in the wide area where strollers can go) and started talking to you. You were having a good time. When he turned his attention to something else, you decided to try to get his attention. You wanted to show him a picture in your Teletubby book. You said 'Hey look at this!" When he didn't notice you, you tried again "Look at this!" He still didn't know you were talking to him. Finally you looked straight at him and yelled "People, look at this!"

It made me chuckle, and dad and I talked later if maybe you thought the names of everyone we saw on the bus and out and about are 'people'. Who knows, it sure was cute though!

I Show You!

Your new favorite thing to say is 'Mommy, I show you. I show you Mommy!" You'll keep saying that until I say "Okay, show me." And then you'll do something silly, like make a high pitched noise or sound. Or spin around. It's super cute.

The other day, I taught you how to play hide-and-seek. You keep calling it peekaboo. You love playing though, it's your new favorite thing. You don't quite understand the concept. I'll count and then come to find you and you'll pop out of your hiding place (usually the same place every time) and say 'You found me!' When it's your turn to count you only count: 1,2,4! And then come and find me. It doesn't give me very much time to hide! But you still love it and love finding me. It's truly your new favorite game. It'll be fun when you're older and we can play hide-and-seek in the dark with the whole family, like I used to when I was younger.
