We’re visiting some friends who have a hamster. Brin and I peer into the cage, but it appears empty. Brin says, “The Brinley Pig is gone!”

Today as Brin and I were leaving the Museum of Nature and Science, I asked her, “Hey Brin, do you see our car?” She looked around for a bit, recognized our car, ran to it, gave it a great big hug on the headlight, and said, “I love you, car.”

This morning we were talking about how Mommy and Daddy have to go to work, to which Brin added, “And I go to work.” When asked about what she will do at work, she thought for a moment, then happily said, “Paper!”

Yesterday I shaved a few weeks of beard off my face. Brin immediately noticed. Then today as we were wrestling, she suddenly stopped, and, with a surprised look on her face, said, “Your beard is back!”
