Outside! Outside!

Drew reports that after breakfast this morning Rachel toddled to the living room, picked up his heavy, clunky shoes, brought them into the kitchen and set them down with an expectant look on her face.

Drew started laughing. "Do you want to go outside, sweetie?" he said.

"Ow-side! Ow-side!" she exclaimed.

He put on her shoes and coat, and then his shoes and his coat. By the time he got to the living room she was waiting by the door, pink inflatable soccer ball in hand, ready for play.
