The Hunt

Owen had been making us hide Easter eggs for close to month before Easter actually arrived. He loved finding them and got really good at spotting those brightly colored ovals. He had never had an Easter egg hunt outside, however, so this was extra exciting. He had the privilege of having two Easter egg hunts (Avery too!)...what a lucky boy!

I Can't Make This Up!

A conversation with Owen while driving home from Ames the other day...
Owen: "There's the moon mama!"
Me: "Yeah."
Owen: "I want the moon!"
Me: "I'm sorry, Owen, but I can't get the moon for you!"
Owen: "I'll get it myself."
Me: "Oh yeah?"
Owen: "And break it...and cook it!"
Me: "You're gonna cook the moon? What do you think it will taste like?"
Owen: "Sausages!"


I have considered trying to work some Spanish into Owen's vocabulary but I wasn't exactly sure how to go about doing it. When I asked Tyler he suggested to just tell Owen it's another way to say it. So I told Owen that "elephante" is "elephant" in Spanish. Then I asked him how to say elephant in Spanish. He replied, "Elephant in Spanish."

I was singing in my beautiful opera voice the other day. And I just kept doing it because it sounded so good! Finally Owen told me that I sounded like an elephant! Obviously we were hearing different things!

Owen makes me laugh daily with the things he says. I love that he can talk and the way his brain works! What a funny kid!
