I usually read to Calvin while he drinks his afternoon bottle. One of the books I read today was Peedie by Olivier Dunrea. We are told that Peedie is a forgetful gosling but he never forgets to wear his hat. Then I read, “one day Peedie put his lucky red baseball cap in a secret place. But he forgot where he put it.” Upon hearing that, Calvin took the bottle out of his mouth, solemnly looked at me and said, “uh-oh.”

I’m pretty sure Calvin is too young to understand what I was reading. However, it still was very cute and impeccable timing.
