Do you Speak Boo Boo?

Weebok just turned 18 months. Everyday is exciting as she seems to have a new trick up her sleeve. More words, more opinions and more dance moves. All of these new tricks also lead to more boo boos. At the pool yesterday, she was standing next to the fountains filling her flowered pitcher, then screeching in joy before dumping the water out. Then she would do it all over again, and again, and again. A little boy , about her age, walked up to her and started playing with the same fountain. She stood back and sized him up, glanced at me and smiled, then started playing. I wish I knew what she was thinking. They took turns running through the fountain. The little boy got a little too excited and fell hurting his hand. His mom brushed it off and kissed it then set him back down to play. The whole time Weebok was just staring at the mother and her son. Once the little boy started playing again, Weebok got in his face and then said, "Boo Boo?" The little boy pointed at his hand and said , "Boo Boo. " Weebok then pointed to her knee and said "Boo Boo." The little boy pointed at his hand again and said, "Boo Boo." This conversation went on for two more rounds. The other mom and I just looked at each other and laughed. It was obvious they were speaking their own language, Boo Boo.

Peace.

Running Report: Back in the saddle again. Following a new program to increase speed, lots of tempo runs and 400's. Then one distance run a week. Today I ran 400's on the treadmill due to poor scheduling on my part and not getting out of the house before the heat set in. When I was finished I felt like speaking Boo Boo. It hurt.
