Bare Necessities III

All Secundus needed to take to bed with him were three matchbox cars, a larger metal ute (or "Bute" as he called it), two superballs, a toy spider (plush, not plastic), a hand rake (part of a sandcastle building set), a train ticket, and of course Dog and Baby Dog.

New developments

Well, little Tertia (aka. E.) is starting to move around. Not crawling, but more than rolling. Squirming, I'd say. She can move across the room, just never in the way she plans. Which causes her endless frustration because she JUST WANTS TO EAT THAT BASTARD DINOSAUR AND SHE CAN'T GET TO IT!@@!*%$*(I&*^.

Secundus (aka. A.) had a new first as well. He Delegated for the first time. Just before dinnertime, he and his cousin (who was visiting) were snacking, because they were apparently (so they informed us in their two-year-old way) starving to death. Secundus was asked to take some of the rice crackers to Primus (aka. D. - remember these, because I'll probably be using these in this blog from now on after having seen Stardust, which was cool, and has encouraged the already existing in-house habit between myself and Mrs B when we want to refer to the little varmints in a coded manner*). Anyways, when I asked Secundus to take some to his brother and the little cousin's elder sister J., he immediately got two of them out, passed them to his cousin, and told her to take them in to Primus and J., which she immediately proceeded to do. I beamed with pride - my little guy is becoming a Slacker, just like his old man.

*Other options have included Primo and Duplo, or Pint-size and half-pint when we just had two.
