short stories

Just want to jot down some funny stuff before I forget it--

• Miles heard we were listening to "All Things Considered" on the radio and objected to the scope of the show. He thought that was just too much to consider at once. He "prefers" (one of his new words) to think about one thing at a time.
• Ruby now says "space" when she sees space-related toys or pictures, or Wall-E. She also says "hug" and gives the best running, smiling hug when she sees me after I've been away.
• She gets going with the babbles sometimes, in the car especially. Miles will act as interpreter and ask me why Ruby said something, like "Why does Ruby want to buy rain?"
