Inga's Achievements as of Oct. 21st 5 p.m.

Inga and I went swimming last night and discovered that she can hold onto the side of the pool and yell "kick, kick, kick" and do it! She can also blow bubbles and yell "star" and point out the cement star fish on the pool.

Inga has also really, really figured out the full-on tantrum. The parents are learning the fine art of "not giving in" the the full blow tantrum. (sorry, no pictures- she'd throw the camera).

Inga is also reportedly engaging in cooporative play on a regular basis at el jardin and at our neighbor's house- pretty good for a 20 month-old. She can also tell you that cars say "beep, beep" and trains say "choo-choo" and demonstrate how they move around and do this. She also likes to yell "truck!, varoom, varoom" at trucks.

I guess that I am not too worried about Inga falling into the girly trap, given her transportation obsession, so far. Which is good because she now dresses in all pink - our wonderful neighbor gave Inga all of her daughters' (yes that apostrophe is in the right place), 2T clothes, and Inga LOVES the pink, frilly tracksuits. So I go around with a little girld all in pink, with bows in her hair, carrying a toy car, who constantly yells "varoom" at trucks.

Inga can also, evidently, climb onto the table, get a jar of raisins, unscrew the cap, and eat all of the raisins. She calls all mugs "coffees" and likes to pour her teacher cups of "coffee" at schools. She also reportedly really enjoys cleaning up at school (wierd child- we'll get this checked on).

love you all.
