everything's just ducky

lily loves ducks.  she has a collection of rubber ducks that she plays with in the bathtub and then brings out to play with in the house.  she keeps them in her shopping cart to push around the house. every bird she sees is a duck.  it could be a chicken, a crow, a bluebird, or some other feathery thing altogether, and it all gets labeled as a duck.  one day i decided to show her some real ducks and took her to the golf course in town to feed the ducks at the pond.  she threw the bread as far as she could, ran around the pond squealing "duck," tried to pet them, and then tried to follow them into the pond (gross!).  needless to say, it was a successful and highly entertaining outing.  it's a distraction i will definitely be taking her back to.
