Wednesday stuff.

Kidlet. Ah, kidlet. There are so many cool things that have happened with him lately and I haven't had time to write. I hope I can remember a few.

He's figuring out some pretty complex concepts, much to my surprise. The other night we were out to dinner and ran into some friends of ours, so we stopped by their table to say hello on the way out. There was a photo hung high up on the wall of a boy and his dog, standing back-to the camera and peering up at a pie perched on a high ledge out of their reach. Kidlet stood and stared at it until I asked him what he was looking at.

He pointed at the photo and I said, "The boy and the dog are looking at the pie."
"Can't reach it," he said after considering the photo a few moments more.
I replied, "That's right, it's too high. I think the boy's Mommy made the pie and put it up high on purpose so they won't eat it."
"Get ladder, reach pie?" here he stood on his tiptoes and reached upward toward the picture, grunting "unh, unh."
"Yes, I suppose they could get a ladder to reach the pie," I said.
"Mommy get pie?" he asked me.
"No, I can't get the pie, it's just a picture," I replied.

He's also singing a whole lot, to himself, to us, to whoever will listen. He's started singing the alphabet song though he gets mixed up once he's past E or so. Michael and kidlet made up a song about ravioli, to the tune of "Wooly Bully":

RaviOLIAAAAAAAAAY!
Ravioli!
Ravioli - ravioli - RAVIOLI!
(Eat it now, eat the ravioli!)

Ugh, there's more, I just can't remember them. I'll give it some thought.
