A Walk with Turo

Today Turo and I had had a little outing on campus. As we headed from lunch to the car, Turo did the following:
1. As we left the building, he stopped to watch the press conference with the athletic director on our new football coach. Made noises of agreement to the A.D.’s remarks. Pointed out to the student next to us that “you have brown skin like me”
2. Flopped in the snow to make an angel and then invited passing students to take a look
3. Played with all three sections of the chain border between the grass and the sidewalk
4. Climbed up on the raised snow covered grass area but was distracted by snow sweeper
5. Watched snow sweeper machine clean the steps in front of Hill auditorium
6. Put hand in the fire hose connector things coming out of a building
7. Hid in small corner
8. Looked in Michigan apparel store window
9. Found another fire house connector thing to touch
10. Looked at display in sushi restaurant
11. Crossed sidewalk to look at newspaper boxes and asked for money to buy a paper
12. Decided he was cold, got back into stroller and rode backwards “to be warm”

Doctor Turo

I have all these thoughts about posts I want to write. About the joy that is Turo, about Auntie Jess, about the challenges of three, on the dusty boots in my grandma's basement and there is even one I've already titled "Potty Water is not Holy Water." But when I sat down to write tonight, very little poured out onto the page.

So, I thought I'd at least share a photo. Jose picked this up for Turo's birthday.
