Packing a Bag
The other night, Beth went to the Rotty’s house for a girl’s night so Clara and I got to hang out. I decided we’d go on a run. Clara always loves riding in her new stroller and I needed the exercise. So not long after Beth left, I started fixing Clara a snack for the road (a necessity). She was pretty interested in my preparation, so I told her that we were going to go on a walk. Well this got her really excited. She started running around the house repeating “Walk, Walk”.
Then, all on her own, she went and found her book bag that her Aunt Fifi gave her and started running around the house. Now, for some context, we usually grab a few toys to throw in there with her to keep her entertained on walks, but this was always done by us. The subsequent conversation went something like this:
“What are you doing with your bag?”
“Toys”
“Why are you getting toys?”
“Walk”
“What toys are you getting?”
“People, Crab”
We often pack things into that bag, like a change of clothes and a diaper for church, but this was the first time she packed it by herself. It was really cute and I love her choice of toys.
