Ruby had a great time walking around the mall last night. She loved the mini billboards with different ads that scroll up and down. She liked walking along in the crowds and being carried in my arms and on my shoulders.
We were walking out when she started saying, “Ruby! Ruby!” and pointing. I turned to see what she was pointing at, but didn’t notice anything in particular so we headed back in the general direction of her pointing*. It was the big Nordstrom sign, about 15 feet long and at eye-level. It turns out, she was pointing at the “R”s! Because R is for Ruby. We tried a few of the other letters in the sign, but she only knew about her “R”s.
We turned to continue out to the car and Ruby said, very knowingly, “words”.
* sometimes, to emphasize the fact that she is pointing at something, Ruby will say, “Point! Point!” Not this time, though.
