Planets

So yesterday Nana made Davy a diagram of the solar system, except he wanted all the little planets she had cut out. So he brought home from Nana's house an envelope of tiny little planets which he played with until he lost some of them. Then he had an epic tantrum. Finally we got him to go to bed for the night, but he decided to take his planets with him. Can you see where this is going to go? That is right, a night full of him losing his planets in bed and then crying because Jupiter is lost!!! So I finally printed out some large versions of the planets, laminated them and sent them to bed with him. When Jupiter is the size of a dinner plate it is difficult to lose it anymore.

While he was playing with them I started asking Evangeline which planet was which, to see if she has picked up anything from David's obsession. Sure enough she know her planets too! Crazy smart kids.

Carrots

Today we went to the store and David asked for carrots, he held them all through the store and then wanted to hold them on the way home. When we got home he wanted to eat some of them, so we gave him carrots and Evangeline got some carrots too. Later tonight Evangeline went into the kitchen and got out a bunch of carrots and took one bite out of each. Just one bite.
