Ogres are wikunyans...

We are having a great time listening to James as he expands his vocabulary. Two of our recent favorites are modified lines from Schrek, his current digital diversion of choice. Thus, 'Ogres are like onions' becomes (very adamantly), 'Ogres are wikunyans!' Not altogether surprising since he still likes to fish for yewwow perch -- but interestingly when pressed about the nature of wikunyans, he reports that they are a special kind of onion. Better yet, 'wake up and smell the pheromones' becomes 'wake up and smell the fire moons' -- a wonderful and appropriately poetic image. Anyway, I am not sure I want to try to explain pheromones to a three year old!

"fire moons" ... what a beautiful image.

I never cease to be amazed at the life children breathe into our existence ...
