Uma Watch Day 7165: Now with even more.

    Go
    Uma favorite game is something that Ketan and I call "Go." Basically what happens is Uma will come up to you, thrust the string from a wheeled pull toy in your hand, and issue the command, "Go!" Then you have to walk in endless circles from the living room to the dining room into the kitchen and then back into the living room again while Uma follows closely behind you. She's kind of a control freak throughout the game. She gets mad if you don't keep up your pace, and if you are pulling her little toy wagon behind you, don't even think about putting anything on it. She will yell "uh-oh" and snatch it off. Once, feeling a little punchy after a long session of "Go," I ran off in the opposite direction with contraband on board the wagon just to mess with her. Let me just say, the ensuing temper tantrum ensured I would not try that again anytime soon.

      Heh. That sounds hilarious! Does she ever issue the "Stop" command, or is it always Go Go Go?

      That's silly; why would she want to stop?

      We've both gone a half hour without reaching the limit of Uma's appetite for "go."

      Kids love circular paths around the house. It'll be even more fun when she learns how to play chase.
