Everyday now Austen comes up with unique, new associations.
She showed a stuffed duck to Mama and said, “Ernie has a rubber ducky.” Picking up rocks at the park, she said, “Rock-a-bye Baby!” When Mama interrupted her playing to asked her if she wanted to go out, she said “Not right now. Later!” which is what Mama says when she’s trying to stall for time. [Sorry there haven’t been many photos lately. It’s Uncle Mark’s fault: no synching with FamousFamily.com. Also, Lucinda has been busy scrapbooking Austen’s life. Ask to see the albums.]
