Tub talk

I made paper airplanes today for the first time in probably 30 or more years. With a little one you get to do things you never thought you'd do again. I didn't remember how to make a good paper airplanes- first tries sadly nosedived to the floor and didn't fly at all. But thanks to internet, I found some fabulous simple paper airplane prescriptions and we enjoyed flying colorful big airplanes across the restaurant this mellow afternoon. Cold has gone for the week and it felt like spring. Conversation with Taiyo has been just endlessly entertaining. Today in the tub, he started talking about "Bathtub car." "We need a bathtub car. We need wheels and remote control for the bathtub," he said. "Bathtub car? This tub turns into a car to drive outside?" "Yep." "So we can drive around while taking a bath?" "Yep. We need a steeering wheel." "But is it all open and people can see us taking a bath?" "No there's black cover and people can't see from outside." "Oh, ok. So they can't see us taking a bath inside." "Nope." "But how about when we want to stop some place. We just get dressed and go outside?" "Yep." I swear this was really what we were talking about in the tub.
