We’ve been having family painting parties lately. We get out all our supplies and paint at the dining room table. It’s very fun.
I have a good collection of paint brushes that I keep in a big plastic container.
The other day, Coco took the container out and saw that I had put in a foam brush that I bought for her.
“Hey! This was supposed to be mine!” she said, laughing. “You’re crazy!” This was followed by, “speaking about painting, I’d like to paint now!”
What was funny about this was that “speaking about” is Coco’s new favorite non sequitur. It killed me when she said this because it sounds so adult and no one had been talking about painting.

Saturday night, Daddy was telling Coco that he once walked from here to Boston. “You did not!” she yelled in reply. “Yes I did,” said Daddy, and added, to prove his point, “and I stopped at every bar along the way.”
After a slight pause, Coco said, “I’m confused. What on earth is a bar?”

Coco is into writing now. Yesterday she asked how to spell the words she wanted to write to a friend. It says, “Dear Lily, Can you help me Coco.” There was more but we got on to other things before she finished. It is a very exciting development.
