OK, OK, I'll admit, I'm a little tiny bit biased. But Daniel is a little genius. He is so incredibly interested in nature, it just amazes me. We'll be sitting in the dining room and he'll hear geese flying overhead, honking, and he'll try to find them outside while saying, "I hew geeze mommy!" (I hear geese mommy!) As we drive, especially at this time of year, we tend to see large flocks of geese in the fields, and Daniel always points to them. We call it a goose party.
Last weekend we piled the whole family in the van to drive to a nature park called Fawn-Doe-Rosa. A parent in Abby's class at Goddard told us about it, and I thought the kids would have a good time. We finally get everyone loaded into the car for the hour drive into Wisconsin, and the van won't start. I mean, icky clicking bad not starting. So, rather than just go into the house and watch a movie, we opted to take a walk.
Once we got to the next block, we passed the senior living facility. On the far west side of the building are two ponds. And what did we see? The biggest goose party ever! We walked around, counted geese and had a great time. Daddy even found another caterpillar. We were all quite excited at that, because the first caterpillar we found won't hatch out of it's cocoon until spring.
As we were walking back Nathan was carrying Daniel and we all came to a stop sign. As is typical, we asked Daniel to identify the letters. Daniel correctly identified all of the letters, pointing to each one: "S--T--O--P"
"What does that spell?" asked Daddy.
"OCTAGON!" shouts Daniel, with enthusiasm.
How many two year olds know "octagon?"
