Recent car-ride conversations with our three year old have been going something like this:
E: "I want to blow up a balloon like this(imitates a balloon being blown up). I want a rainbow balloon. I really, really, really, really want to go up in the air like this (hands lifting towards the sky)."
Me: "What are you going to see up there?"
E: "Houses and birds"
Me: "Are you going to be scared?"
E: "No, because I see airplanes and Super Vivian!"
Me: "Where is she flying to?"
E: "To Boston to see Allyn"...."Oh, Viv's in her car seat now"...."Mommy, I really, really, really want some lip gloss....Mommy, gimme some lip gloss now!"
Me: "El..."
E: "Mommy, please, I need lip gloss because my lips look brown, like food".
I'm amazed at the territory of topics we cover when the radio is off and we're stuck in traffic. I tried my best to scribble the words of our conversation verbatim.
