Key

This morning, Eddie grabbed a keyring off the desk in the bedroom and said "Key!" Then he ran off to the front door of the apartment, where he stood on tiptoe to try to put the key into the keyhole.

Ha! The door wasn't even locked, dummy!

This afternoon we went out for a long walk in Urbino. Eddie walked down a nice narrow street with swallows swooping down the middle at top speed. He pointed up at them and said "woosh!" Later he found a metal ramp which he could walk on and make booms.


After we left, two women came out of the building with the ramp and talked while they got on their motorcycles. Eddie, who was in front of me, came back and clutched my legs so he could peek around at them. Then he walked up and stared at one lady. He was pretty impressed by her motorcycle, I think!

Eddie did a good job climbing up a steep street (Urbino has lots of those.) Then I picked him up so that he could look at a painting of the Madonna in an alcove on the street (Urbino has lots of those too.) Although he'd been happily walking till then, he didn't want to be put back down—I guess getting off his feet made him realize how nice it was! So he was riding in his stroller when he saw two cute Italian twin girls, 2 or 3 years old, running and laughing in front of the Ducal Palace. Lots of university students in Urbino are graduating around now, so there are little crowds of people cheering for the new graduates. Whenever we passed one Eddie would clap for them too.
