E.g. "Does Bluet have wings?" "No, Bluet have hands"
"Does eagle have hands?", "No, eagle has wings. Fly in the sky"
Stopping briefly in St Louis, Bluet caught up with her cousins (she also learnt that Nate was her cousin, but hasn't yet worked out that one can have more than one cousin.
Then we headed down to the family farm. Bluet was really excited to see all the animals - she learnt the names of the dogs, and counted how many dogs there were. She also heard us telling the dogs to go away, so started to say things like "Go way, Dingo", which was very cute, if ineffective.
She also got to try out some new forms of transport, including a tractor that was a birthday present for Emily, back in the day.
And of course there was plenty of opportunity to play outside with water (although for some reason she thought the water pistols were 'cameras'. She also really liked it when I used the water pistols to squirt her. At least I think she did.
She also practised wearing her life jacket for the float trip - more about that tomorrow. At first she liked it so much we couldn't get it off her. This changed at times when we were out in canoes and she actually needed it, obviously. Then Emily had to hold it on to stop her undoing it. Yes, she has mastered the zip (at least in the undoing direction)
The life jacket also came in handy when she went to play with another cousin, Thane
And at some points she almost combined her love of water and love of animals - fortunately she did not jump in this pond, despite the fascination
Tomorrow: What happened whilst canoeing
Still to come: Bluet gets a haircut
