Drew took Rachel grocery shopping and to the park yesterday while I stayed at home, trying to get work done. He said he saw a boy about 2 years old with his mom. His mom remarked, on seeing Rachel, "what a beautiful daughter you have! She's 2, right?"
"Uh, no," Drew answered. "She's not quite 15 months old."
"Wow!" the woman remarked. "She looks so big!"
Drew reported to me later that Rachel was at least two inches taller than the woman's son.
It's true, she seems to be getting bigger by leaps and bounds. I can barely keep up with how fast she outgrows stuff. Drew bought some winter clothes for her on Friday. Unfortunately there were no dresses in the pile -- just preppy turtlenecks and slacks.
She has also become very interested in Matchbox cars. "Could you get her interested in some dolls? At least one?" I asked Drew.
He chortled in reply, no doubt counting the days he gets to take her to spring training camp. The Mets, of course.

Too cute! Soon enough though and she will be asking for a Barbie b'day cake. I used to say that I wasn't going to buy any gender specific toys for Andrew when he was a baby but they just gravitate to it on their own. Now when the boys see anything princess related they say "I don't want that, that's girl stuff!" Jack says "boys like cool things and girls like lovely things". That cracks me up. But good to hear that she likes the matchbox cars, we've got a million of them if she ever wants to come over and check out Jack's collection. Maybe she will like legos too, we've got a million of those too.
