Day #2269 (Mon., Mar. 21, 2016) – Bananas In Pajamas

2016-03-21 - Finger PuppetsThe photo to the left shows the two finger puppets that Katie and I made.

On the drive to Glenwood this morning Katie wanted to play a game where we were racing other cars to get to Glenwood. There was a motorcycle that passed us and she made note of that. She also got a kick out of the fact I told her other cars were going in the other direction and we would beat them.

Katie and I also discussed some of the “strangeness” of the English language. For example, Why is an orange called an orange and banana not called yellow? There would be a problem in this case because if you asked for a yellow and someone gave you a lemon you would be in for quite a surprise. Katie and I decided that there should be a “long yellow” and a “round yellow”.

Katie has expressed an interest in volleyball. I don’t think she has ever really played it before…perhaps she has seen it on television. At any rate she was quite energetic this evening and was pretending to play volleyball with a beach ball. She accidentally hit Bobby which caused him to fall backwards and hit his head. No big damage really, but Katie was sad that she caused Bobby to be hurt. She went to bed crying.

Bobby is eating little bits of apple these days. Arnesa tells me that watermelon is his favorite.

Later in the evening Katie came out of her bedroom complaining that she was itchy. I just happened to have the television show “Bananas in Pajamas” on the television and she watched that for a while. I mentioned the name of this show to Katie in the car this morning and she laughed because of the strangeness of the name.
