A nice evening
We sat on the front porch for a while this afternoon and watched the heavy rain come down. Then Agent Murphy got to play with some toys from the special shelf, on top of his bookcase. Tonight he played with Rufus, the stuffed red wolf (He was a table decoration at the wedding of Mr. Tldz’s groomsman.), and Hildegard, the stuffed German Shorthaired Pointer that we got because that’s The Dog’s breed and Hildegard looks a lot like The Dog. Rufus and Hildegard seem to be pretty cozy with each other.
Agent Murphy kept pointing between Hildegard and The Dog and saying, “Yeah” or “Uh huh.” Point to Hildegard’s head, point to The Dog’s head. Point to Hildegard’s back, point to The Dog’s back. Point to Hildegard’s ear, point to The Dog’s ear… I wonder how long the likeness will keep him fascinated? It was cute.
And we read and re-read lots of books today. Lately the Curious George board books have been very popular, but today we were quite into Once Upon a Potty until Mommy said I needed a break from pee-pee and poo-poo. Row, Row, Row Your Boat was big today, too. The Agent has been more willing to make and immitate sounds lately. He says “Row row,” though it usually sounds more like “Woe woe.” And he’s adding to his animal sounds — his standard “Aarrr” for a dinosaur, and now he has an impressive lion’s roar, and he barks like a dog and AT his dog, and he’s trying to quack like a duck, which sounds like “Kak kak.”
