Roots

Gwendolyn has discovered the picture book that Sam and Jess gave us last Christmas and has been studying it with great concentration. I've asked her who is in the pictures, and right away she identified "Tooobiii" (sing-song upward inflection of the "biii"). She didn't get anyone else, even Tulip ("Tuliii") whose name probably got said the most during our last visit. Pretty sure she doesn't recognize herself, both she and Maddie get lots of pointing and excited attention: "baby! baby!" We've been pointing out her different relatives and repeating their names. So, even though we won't see our families over Christmas, you'll all be very much with us in spirit!
