Life2q]'''o[ and Mum Mums

I happened upon this quote recently from Gilda Radner.

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”

It goes against who I am, but I love this. I'm trying, dear Lord, I'm trying.

Yesterday while Porter, Ruby and I were waiting in the car I gave Ruby a mum mum to help keep her happy ( anyone not familiar, it is basically a rice cracker for babies). In the absence of anything else, Porter reached out wanting the other half. He finished it in seconds and then I heard it:

"Cacka, cacka."

Thank God I had another one in my purse.

"YES, sweet angel you can have a cacka! "

I wasn't expecting it at all. How delicious it was.

Up until this point, he had never spontaneously requested a cracker before. Sure, if I had him at the table and was dangling one in front of him, he'd say it..but never before just on his own.  From the backseat, without even having it in his visual frame of reference!

Big day.
