a laugh and a calf

Last Sunday saw the debut of the very first joke Sage made up all on her own (intentionally).

We were pretending to be cows, making mooing sounds. "Moo!" said Sage. "Moo! I'm the little cow, and you're the big cow."

"Moo! So that means I'm the mommy cow and you're the baby cow--my calf?" I asked, trying to subtly teach her a new word.

"Okay," she said agreeably. "I'm the baby calf, moo." Then she looked at me, mischief sparkling in her eyes. "And you're my moo-mmy!"

She has a sense of humor! It totally makes up for being called a big cow.

miss herd

Dean was relaxing with his latest purchase from Powerbooks when Sage decided (as is her wont) to treat him as her own personal jungle gym. "What are you reading, Dad?" she asked, twining and tumbling around him.

"'Unsolved Murders'," he replied, doing his best to continue reading despite his daughter's persistent attempts to distract.

At that point, I walked into the bedroom to inform my two loves that dinner was ready.

"Mommy, Mommy!" Sage proudly announced. "Look, Daddy's reading 'Unsolved Burgers'!"
