Today we were out walking at the marina. The weather here has been gorgeous the past couple of days -- it topped 70 degrees yesterday and today. We heard most of our family up North received some snow ... Anyway, we were out for a walk and Ruby is watching the rowing teams bring in their boats. All of a sudden she points to one of the guys and yells "Look Mommy, he's naked!" at the top of her lungs. I don't think he heard her, but still, it was kind of entertaining and embarrassing at the same time.
Ruby is learning a lot about conversing with people. She can answer questions when asked and even try to continue the conversation a bit. She has not learned to filter her thoughts though. And, I have a feeling it will be a long time before she does that, so I better get used to being embarrassed some of the time.
She likes to tell me she's a "dirty little boy" when I am cleaning her up after lunch or dinner. (This comes from a book called The Dirty Little Boy.") And, if a woman has short hair or a man has long hair, she tends to point at them and loudly announce the opposite gender ...
I'm sure there are many examples Ruby has given me that I am now forgetting.
In other news, I joined a gym last week. I can go work out and put the kids in childcare for up to two hours a day. I haven't left them there for that long yet, but it is nice to get an hour to myself at least a few days a week. The gym also offers a number of classes and Ruby and I started parent-tot swim classes. So, for the next six weeks Ruby and I will have a "special date" and go swimming and out to lunch. I love getting to spend some quality time with her, without another screaming child!
No pictures for now, I'll try to post some next week.
