Look! There's Ca-ca

Olivia and I set out for a quick walk to the mailbox the other evening, which lengthened into a walk around the block. After being informed that the heavy humid air and cloud covered sky made for a "really beautiful day," we set off. At one point she wanted to run ahead and informed me that my job would naturally be to catch her. Off we went. I caught her with an "Ah ha," which was very funny. Then she started catching her imaginary friends. She caught Brown Lemur and White Lemur and The Boy and Joe Baby and DooDah. Then she proclaimed to the street that she had caught ca-ca. "Look mommy! It's ca-ca." Well, what's a parent to do when their child is so proud of finding ca-ca? Laugh - a lot and loudly. So I did (But, really how many imaginary friends is she going to have? Oh, my, i just thought - please don't let the next one be called out and out Poop.). I'm just wondering if anyone heard this little voice going on and on about ca-ca - because you know as soon as i laughed, it was neverending ca-caing all around (if it's funny once, it's funny a thousand frickin times!). I wonder what would go through people's minds when they heard that? Not to mention the discussion we had to have about staying away from the pile mommy was raking as it had dog poop in it. Is there anything louder than a child saying "Dog poop? What dog poop? What you talking about mom? Where's dog poop?" Oh wait, yes there is - it's a child claiming excitedly that ca-ca was back...
