Natalie and I decided we should visit Daddy downtown at work before the official arrival of Pinto. She was very excited to leave school early to take bus 22 (her favorite # – twice!) downtown to Daddy’s really tall building. She asked him nicely, “Will you buy us lunch Daddy?” He was only too happy to take us out!
Daddy also walked us to the train station – well, rather, he held Natalie’s hand, as the two of them asked me to chase them! With a stroller and an extra 35 lbs holding me back, it wasn’t much of a contest.
Right before nap, Natalie asked me, “Sing Mommy” (a standard). But, then she went on to tell me all sorts of things, like “look” and my eyes being opened. At one point, I asked her, “Natalie, are you listening?” And she said, “No.” I love the unadulterated honesty of a 2-year-old. She proceeded to listen after that though!
Thanks for a great lunch date, Daddy!
