Toddler Talk

Same day, different post.

After our adventures on the beach and in the kiddie park, Dave, Peter, Melissa, and I decided to indulge in one last Coney tradition, even though it meant pushing the girls WAY past their naps: hot dogs at Nathan's.

As with so many things in NYC, we were not the only ones with this brilliant idea, and the lines were long, long, long (see that huge crowd at the back of this photo? Yeah, well, that is just one of about 5 lines that head in to the shack). While waiting, Clio and Eva had a little snack, and got into a heated argument about, we think, the nearby trashcan. Melissa and I could not totally understand them (and it was unclear whether they actually understood each other); ultimately, we think they were on the same page: something about how the can was really BIG and full of stuff. There was a lot of gesturing and gesticulating. Check out how animated this discussion got:






And that's the short version- there were about 10 more photos in the series!

Too funny. I'm still laughing about this. They can communicate a ton just by their tone right? Nice photos. I love how disgruntled they look.
