I love this phase of kid-dom where she is verbal but you just don't quite know what she's actually talking about half the time. Casually asking other preschool parents what their kids' names are trying to figure out who the fuck this "Pasie" character she keeps talking about might be.
Anyways, for weeks she keeps talking about caterpillars. We got her the hungry hungry caterpillar and she's way into it, this must be it. They read this at school. And she's talking about how she saw a caterpillar at school, and it was scary. Ok, they must have seen a caterpillar on the playground, the teacher showed them because they are reading the book, it is black and fuzzy, everything checks out. But she just keeps going on about the caterpillar. Vivid imagination, she's fixated on the caterpillar, ok not the weirdest thing going on in my life.
I picked her up from preschool yesterday and pulled off to get her fastened into her seat and she began pointing and talking about the caterpillar outside
Ah. Yeah that tracks.
