Eden is starting to pretend things. She has a game where she goes and rings the doorbell. (She has liked doorbells and other buttons for a long long time). Then we call out, “Who’s there?” She said, “Omi!” (That’s my Mom’s nickname). Today Chad went back to work, so “Papi” was at the door. It’s cute wishful thinking.

Over the weekend I asked Eden how she was doing. She is always interested in babbling. She adopted a sad-sad tone of voice like we use when we are reading stories. “Fall down… Bonk… Head.” It was cute. She hadn’t hit herself recently, so I think she was just telling me that she doesn’t like it. Actually, today she did hit her head, and she described it in about the same words, just without the melodramatic tone of voice.
