The other day we went up and visited Micki, who absolutely adores Desert Boy. She taught him some dancing moves and showed him how to snap his fingers. He thought that was pretty cool and imitated as best he could.
He's a good sport. Plus Micki has some fun toys, and he knows exactly where they are kept and makes a beeline for them as soon as we go inside. And outside she has a swing, which he also remembers and mentions anytime I say Micki's name.
But I'd say Micki totally won over Desert Boy when she let him make a real phone call and talk on the phone. He's already practicing for his teenage years.
Hi! I'm Gretchen, an ecologist, rancher's wife, mother, writer, and dreamer. I've lived and worked in three of the four North American deserts and visited the fourth. This blog is about what it's like to live in the rural high desert on a ranch, spending lots of time outdoors with kids, and our journey to live more sustainably.
