Mr. Outdoors

July 23, 2006 / Sunday / 1:00 p.m.

We were at the mall yesterday where Theo enjoyed riding on an electric train with Mommy D. This morning after church we also spent about an hour in the park where he climbed small hills and ran on the grass. Theo loves the outdoors, and now it is he who would often say "Goo, goo", his shortened version of "Let's go". That's what we say to him just before leaving the house.

Theo has also started using a few words, and one word that he often says is "No" because that's what we always tell him when he's trying to test his limits. He also babbles a lot even if we can't understand him. We're certain that he'll be a very talkative child when the right time comes.

Theo is asleep as I am writing this, recharging himself after a whole morning outside. When he wakes up, he'll probably roam around the house for an hour or watch a Mickey Mouse DVD before becoming bored and start saying "Goo, goo..." over and over.

That's our cue to put on our shoes and "goo" out. "No" is unacceptable.
