So I took E to the park today. It's one of my favorite playgrounds in Manhattan. It's shaded by leafy trees and there are a variety of things to do. E particularly likes this elephant that you can sit in and rock back and forth. While E communed with the elephant, a cherubic blue-eyed blonde in a billowing white dress opened her mouth and roared.
"What powerful lungs for such a little girl!" I observed.
Her mother said, "I know! He's actually a boy - I put him in a dress, it's terrible."
I thought that was funny. She then revealed that he was her only child. So I'm not sure why she had a dress in his size, but whatever.
After taking a step a few nights ago, E is back to crawling, standing in the middle of the room, and "creeping" (walking while holding onto stuff). My mom told me my brother was a late walker too (16 months), but he walks pretty well now.

L wore a dress when he was baptized, but I don't think I'd dress him that way for a trip to the park. But whatever makes people happy, I guess...
