Kevin left today for a business conference in San Francisco and Ricky doesn’t have a real grasp of the phrase “going on a trip.” His only real exposure to a trip is a cartoon about going to Mars (thank you, Backyardigans) and a 50 year old book about Bobby Bear taking a rocket trip. So when Kevin told Ricky that he was going on a trip, Ricky found his toy rocket and kept talking about riding the rocket with Poppy. Kevin had to explain that he was going on an airplane, not a rocket. Just before Kevin left today, Ricky told me that he wanted to go on the airplane with Poppy to Mars. After we dropped Kev off, Ricky cried about his Poppy going to Mars without him! So sad and so cute at the same time!
