Tongue out at the bar.

I love the way Colette relates to people. I wonder when the barefaced baby will turn into a socially conscious child, apprised of ways to be and to react to others. I wonder when she will stop walking past the construction workers, loudly proclaiming "hat" while patting her head and pointing at theirs - insisting until they do the same. It is inspiring to watch her make eye contact with anyone she pleases, bat her eyes, wave her hellos and continue staring until she has had enough of whoever it is - or stare squinty-eyed with a slightly turned gaze - judging with flagrant suspicion.

We are going away this weekend and next week for a while. First to Provincetown, then to the south of France: St. Aygulf and Avignon. Sounds delightful to me.
