Bea ran around last night saying, "sad, tired, hungry."
She'd just had dinner and we'd been playing a rollicking game of "take all the clothes out of the drawers and throw them on the floor," so I wasn't so concerned about what she was saying as curious.
Then she added "wet." "Wet, tired, sad, hungry."
And I realized, she was repeating part of the book, Kitten's First Full Moon, that we'd read a lot of about a week ago.
The toddler brain is an amazing, mysterious, endlessly amusing thing.
