A Little Preview

This afternoon I was reading to Hannah while Jack played with his dump truck (or so I thought). After I finished the book, Hannah got up to get another book, and walked in front of Jack, who had been sitting with his back to us. She giggled.

"Mama! Jack got a beard!"

"Someday maybe Jack will have a beard like Daddy, Hannah" I said, "but he's just a baby now and babies don't have beards even if they are boys."

To this Hannah responded with another chuckle and "Jack SOOOOO dirty, better cyean 'im up!"

Finally I got up to investigate. Evidently Hannah's black crayon had been in Jack's dump truck, and he had gummed it for a while, then smeared crayon goo all over his face, hands, shirt, socks, and the carpet. It did kind of look like a beard, huh?
