The Big Green Tofer

I've been wondering when Puddin' would cease to be a toddler and move on to the preschool category. She loves letters and numbers but that's fairly normal for the age (2 months shy of 3.) She enjoys "reading" stories to us more than having them read. Maybe that's a little ahead of the game but not much.

Today, on our walk to the pick up Peanut, Puddin' recognized 4 of the letters reading "Toter" on the side of a neighbor's trash can. She missed the second "t" because the font had a pronounced serif. She proclaimed it an "f," which is what it would have been if it had been flipped vertically.

I'm stunned. And now, undeniably, I am the mom of a preschooler. I told Puddin' as much. "Why, Mama?" "Well, you're growing a lot and learning new kinds of things. How does it feel?" "Good."
