SteelyKid has a new friend, who she shows off in this week’s Toddler Blogging:
She’s a huge fan of Goldbug in Richard Scarry’s Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, so when we found out that there’s a plush Goldbug toy available on the Internet, it was a real no-brainer. She recognized it immediately, despite Goldbug-the-toy being approximately 100 times Goldbug-the-character.
Unrelated disgustingly cute toddler babble story:
Today was the first break we’ve had in a week of dreary rain, so we celebrated by stopping by the playground after day care. For a little while there was a really bright rainbow visible– you could see both arcs– and SteelyKid was duly impressed by refraction in action. Some time after it had faded, she was on the swings, and heard somebody talking about it. She looked up where it had been, and said “Rainbow not there right now,” then thought for a minute, and solemnly announced “Rainbow go home. Rainbow sleeping.”
OK, maybe you had to be there, but it’s ridiculously cute when she says it…
You don’t have to have been there to think that’s cute. It’s VERY cute. To her everything has a home, so of course it went home. Too bad you didn’t have a video camera for that one!
She is a deep thinker!
Now why didn’t Isaac Newton think of that?
Early sentences thrill me way more than early steps, or just about anything else. Thanks for sharing!
Appa looks very dejected at having been replaced by a different sex-legged creature.
