Not long after Jeremiah gets up in the morning, he wants us to help him make his "fort." This just means we prop all our couch pillows against our coffee table leaving one side open. He likes to crawl under the table, then push one of the pillows aside and pop out as if saying, "Here I am, Mom and Dad!"
He also likes us to get in the fort with him. It's hard for me (and even more so for Jon) to maneuver in that small space, but Jeremiah insistently pats the carpet until we are at least partway underneath the table with him.
But the last few days, Mom or Dad hasn't been enough. "Mimi," Jeremiah calls, and then pats the carpet underneath his fort. "Mimi," he calls again, as he waits for Maggie to join him in his play space.
Yesterday, I did get Maggie to lay on the floor and kind of be in the fort with us. It was enough to satisfy Jeremiah. He got in his fort, said "Mimi," and patted her on the nose. Then he patted Mama's cheek, too. He was a contended little boy.

Does 'mimi' come when she's called? That's pretty cool if she recognizes this new name of hers.
He is so creative... and funny! Thanks for catching us up. Can't wait to see him in a couple weeks
