Last night Uly offered me a piece of pretend cake that he "baked". I asked him what flavor he said "it's chocolate and Jell-O with sprinkles!"

Not much new went on today. Leo is still very fond of his feet and toes, and Uly is very quickly learning how to negotiate up. I love this, actually. It's challenging but always amusing.

The other day at the park he met a little girl and she led him away into the playground where they had a great time for about 8 minutes. She convinced him to climb up a tire-rope and back down again, which is something even Gavin could not convince him to do. It was a nice glimpse of how things will likely go when he hits the age of Women... and then a funny thing happened. The conversation went something like this:

Girl: let's go down the slide, Lou-ee! (She misheard his name)
Uly: Uh, I can't do that
Girl: Yes you can, we're allowed
Uly: No no no, I can't do that. I'm too big for that. I'm too big. (excellent excuse, he thought)
Girl: You're not to big! I'm six and I'm not too big!
Uly: *blank stare* I have to go now ... MOMMY!

Lovin' it
