Funny contrasts

One very funny contrast in our lives is our children's description of vehicles. Henry, of course, can name the make and model of almost anything on the road (he's been working hard at it since he was 2). So I always find myself giggling when to Ava every car is a 'cool car'--no matter what it is--car, truck, tractor, semi, you name it, it's a 'cool car'.

Today we had some sun breaks (and the temp was over 60) so we went for a nice afternoon walk. Henry does very little walking and a lot of running. He is obviously much faster than his younger counterpart at this age, but he has inspired her to try her hand at running to catch up with him. It is currently a mix between speed walking and running but the best part is that as she goes she says 'running, running, running' (always in a set of three). Thankfully Henry is a very good sport and waits for us to catch up!

Lastly, one of Henry's favorite t-shirts is a hand me down Yoda shirt that is navy blue. He wore it to music class today in hopes that we could (and we did) sing hello to Yoda. It makes me buckle over though when Ava points at his shirt and says (exuberantly) 'COW', 'COW', 'MOO'. I've never really though what animal Yoda most closely resembles but to Ava he's a cow.
