One sided conversation

The baby proofing went very well last weekend.  The dog dishes in the kitchen are the only current problem - so I thought.


Calan was playing in his bedroom very quietly.  I kept popping my head in to check & all was well.  I was able to return emails, pick-up toys & clean the bathroom while he was occupied.  He came crawling into the bedroom...


"Calan, show Mama where you got the dirt from..."

"Oh there it is!  Thank you for playing so quietly while I got some things done.  Now let's clean the toilet again today." (I just read that explaining what you are doing helps babies develop language skills)
