Tad Pool

Define Tad Pool: Samantha's term for "splash pad"; "sprinkler park"; "pool"

"Are we going to the tad pool?"

Samantha did not get to see Daddy last night before bed, nor this morning before he left for work, although she snuck in our bed in the middle of the night after she brought herself to a poop session. When I picked her up to bring her back to bed, she cried for a Daddy-kiss. All day she talked about him, so needless to say she was super excited when he woke her from nap. She had so much to tell him and so many books for him to read!
This morning I asked Sam what she wanted to do and if she wanted to go to the splash park. All she wanted to do was play [with Legos], read books, trace/color numbers and repeat and sing Spanish words and colors.  She is getting very good at counting and matching pairs.
She is also using the word 'sensible': "That's not very sensible." I think she picked it up from Grandma.
The other term she uses is '...or something?', which she got from Daddy (I heard him say it tonight): "You gotta go to work or something?"
