Today Emily quoted a line from the picture book "Zoom City" to Eva. Eva walked over to the shelf, looked and looked, and pulled the book out and gave it to Emily to read. Emily's convinced Eva is some kind of toddler literary genius. Eli also brought me his favorite "bath book" today. Hopefully reading will continue to be a family hobby.
Linda said today that lately if Eva sees Eli isn't paying attention, she'll take his toy and run away. She said "the louder he cries, the louder she laughs." Since there were several months were Eli could walk quickly and abscond with Eva's toys, it seems like turnabout if fair play.
Sam has a new coloring book and dinosaur CD courtesy of Aunt Lisa. He's done a lot of coloring in the coloring book, and today Emily put the CD into rotation. I think we'll know a lot of new dinosaur books in the next few months.
We also figured out today what the day trip was in which Sam participated yesterday. We'd thought perhaps he had visited a temple or a museum. He described a "fire" and "ghosts" and some things that were "scary." I asked him if the ghosts were real or fake, and he said they were fake. So, today we discovered they actually went to the metro station to learn about safety when there are fires or other emergencies. Already, his life is partially a mystery to us....
