wild things

[flea]

Conversation last night in Dillo's bed:

Dillo: What's that Max over there? [looking at Maurice Sendak art on the wall]
Me: Oh, Max from the Wild Things? Do you know Max? [we own the book but have not read it to Dillo, as far as I can recall; in fact I am not sure where it is right now]
Dillo: Jenn read it [note: present tense] at school!
Me: Did you gnash your terrible teeth and stamp your terrible deet?
Dillo: Terrible eyes!

I love love love the communication and the spicy little person brains. I told mr. flea about this exchange on our way to work this morning, and Dillo added comments from the back seat like, "Max not scared of Wild Things!" and "Be still!"

I love it when they can tell you about the stuff they experience and you can understand it. Dillo is a cutie. You were right - boys are fun.

That is great. We're enjoying the communication as it grows, too. And Pumpkin LOVES to gnash her terrible teeth and roar her terrible roar.
