Communication

We had a milestone day in communication this week.

At breakfast I asked the boys what they wanted to do today...not really expecting any response.  Odin pointed to the gorilla on my shirt and said "ahaha" (while pounding his chest), then pointed at the door and said "oo."  I asked him if he wanted to go the the zoo to see the gorillas and he said "yes!" You better believe we went to the zoo and saw gorillas!

After nap I again asked what they wanted to do and Lars said "wa?," I asked if he wanted to see water and he said "yes!"  Of course we went to Golden Gardens and played in the sand and threw rocks in the water!

I think my days of having complete control over the agenda for the day are over!

This is the best shot I got at the zoo...checking out the African Savannah exhibit

It's a good thing Lars had that hat on.  When he was trying to see how the funnel worked it nicely protected his eyes from a deluge of sand at Golden Gardens.
