Tiny Talk Tuesday


---------------
Auntie Ann is visiting right now, and Esmé (29 months) is playing with a camel family she brought with her.

Auntie Ann: "Do camels live in the desert?"

Esmé: "Yep."

Auntie Ann: "Do you know where there is a desert?"

Esmé: "Yep."

Auntie Ann: "Where is a desert?"

Esmé: "In the sandbox!"

----------------
Pappa and Esmé are reviewing calculus symbols. Pappa draws some.

"This is an integral?" Esmé points.

"This is a differential?" She points again.

"Maybe I'll just draw a circle." And she draws a circle.

---------------
During bathtime after unloading our container from Mozambique, we were discussing all we had done that day.

"You've been busy," I say. "Unpacking, and cleaning..."

"Unpacking, and cleaning," she continues, "and getting out of the way!"

Yep, a very busy girl...

Did she spend more time getting out of the way than unpacking and cleaning? In the perfect world, that would be the case! :)
