19 Months

Mom: Mataya, my big girl. You are 19 months today!

M(ataya): Really? I was too busy to notice.

Mom: Yes, it is true. What things are you busy with?

M: Well, I really like all kinds of things. I like to colour, uses stickers, look at books and hold my babies and monkeys.
Mom: What books are your favorite?

M: I really like the tractor magazines with combines and cows in them. And I like the books that have pictures of monkeys, ducks or pigs in them. I am very good at those animal noises.

Mom: Yes, you are.  What others things do you like to do?
 M: I like to dance and move. I also like to go outside, especially to the barn and tractors. And I like to run errands with you, Mom, while Joash is in school. I really like to look in your purse for snacks.

Mom: I know. Good thing I always have a little something for you. What do you like to eat?


M: My food preferences haven't changed much in the last while, but I don't really know why I have to eat supper. I think I eat enough at lunch to last the rest of the day.

Mom: Well, I don't know about that. You used to really like vegetables, so maybe someday they will grow on you again.
Thanks for talking with me.

M: You're welcome, Mom!

Along the way, he teams up with Trace, an older magician who leaves his post as Master of a Long Hall to assist Hyam. He also frees a woman named Joelle and their friendship ...
