Wishful thinking


This photo makes Lyla look like a down-and-out milkaholic.

Lyla used to call every Sesame Street character Elmo, and recently she calls every color red. Makes sense: try to learn a language from scratch, fully immersed, and you'll screw stuff up too.

Lyla has a boyfriend at daycare who is named Everett. The other day when Julie dropped her off, she ran up to Everett and his mom, pointed at him and said "Ev-et!" We'll have to teach her about playing hard-to-get.

Lately, she calls all of her friends Ev-et. It's weird because she knows lots of the kids' real names. She knows there's only one Everett.

Clearly, she wishes there were more.
