What Did We Do Today?

I am just so amused at what an almost 20 month old boy can do.  This has been the most fascinating stage, uncovering what Jackie understands--what he can communicate--using words, noises, and gestures.  We have these "conversations" called "What did we do today?" Whenever Jackie gets a little wiggly, and the ants are in his pants, it really directs his focus and he goes into a trance listening to Dada or Mama talk about the day's events.  If it's still morning, we discuss yesterday.  Or 3 weeks ago.  It doesn't matter.  As long as we're telling a story with memories he can recall, he absolutely loves it.  These conversations are frequently random, never chronological, and always satisfying.  At least to him.  And on long car rides, or just before dinner time when the witching hour is upon us, they never fail us.  Here is one such conversation.
