“Must be the sunscreen.”
“Or the carrot puree that got in her hair.”
“Or…”
Oh, wait. Now I remember.

		<description><![CDATA[Explaining stuff to Boo &#8212; ATM cards, the Minnesota State Fair’s stick-food fetish, careers in HVAC &#8212; in terms she can understand is immensely satisfying. Teaching, after all, isn’t just saying what you know, it’s saying what you know in a way that your audience will “get.”

Working Mom drew a cat.
And Boo responded: &#34;Well, that looks more like an elephant than a cat. But if you want to call it a cat, that&#8217;s OK.&#34;
See what a sweet girl we’re raising?

My new pet. I hope they don&#8217;t stay that big&#8230; I&#8217;m not sure Working Mom (or the cat) would approve.




The pink obsession continues, so I was pleasantly surprised on the way to the zoo the other day when Boo told me out of the blue (a.k.a. &#8220;out of the not-pink&#8221;):
&#8220;Green light means go!&#8221;

I found that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[San Francisco is a dog town. San Francisco is a kid town.
Usually, that&#8217;s a fantastic pairing. Boobaby, for one, loves dogs, and dogs love her, or at least the many aromas that generally emanate from her. Sure, there are some dogs that should be avoided, but generally, we&#8217;ve got a cordial relationship with our town&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Critter lover.




Let me preface by saying: I&#8217;m not stupid about Boobaby and animals. I don&#8217;t let her charge strange dogs or hold spiders bigger than an inch or so. But I do encourage her around animals and that makes her bold to a fault. 
You see, I got in trouble at the playground today for [...]]]></description>

Boobaby several months ago, getting to know the animals. They&#8217;re among her best friends now &#8212; she goes to movies with this one.




We went to the zoo today &#8212; yes, that zoo &#8212; to feed the goats, our usual pursuit. We&#8217;re getting to know them by name now. Ginger (she&#8217;s big but not as pushy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Boo, 
I have really enjoyed using the nice round term &#8220;a year&#8221; when people ask how old you are. You&#8217;re doing everything a good one-year old should: your walking is coming along really well, you pick up new words (in English and sign language) nearly daily, and you&#8217;re discovering new skills (like dumping things [...]]]></description>
