Toddler Toddler Toddler Two

"Two is the number just for you."

Two shoes (squeak, squeak):

Two eyes (blink blink), two hands (pudge pudge):

"Toddler toddler toddler two. Two is the number just for you."

Recent conversation between me and a young boy at the park:

Boy: "Is she Asian?"

Me: "Yes, she's Chinese."

Boy: "Is her dad Chinese?"

Me: "No, he's Caucasian. Our daughter is adopted."

Boy (in total astonishment): "Wow! Does she call you 'Mama' and everything?"

Me (snicker snicker): "Yeah."

And then *I* was amazed once again that this girl--beautiful both inside and out--calls *me* "Ma-MAH." The miracle of adoption lives on.
