The last couple of days The Blond Guy has started singing the alphabet in bits and pieces. Yesterday I got some good footage of his singing, although the first take which you see here ended up being the best. Later on we were running a bunch of errands and one was at a strip mall with CVS. From the back seat of the car he said to me, “Mommy, lots of ABC’s!” and he also said “Big ABC’s!” in reference to the signs above the stores. I was glad that he took notice. I wouldn’t have even thought to point them out.

Got Goslings?
On our way to the park there is a nursing home with a pond, home to several geese and a few turtles. This year two families of geese had 5 goslings each. We've had the distinct pleasure of watching the baby geese grow up. We stop by and watch them and if we have crackers on hand we share. The parents are always nearby and they hiss if we get too close so we have to be careful. But they are also always eager to get in on the action if there is food in the mix...and each family seems to like to boss the other one around. At first we would watch the parents bullying each other for territory and lately we've seen the same behavior duplicated in the offspring. I guess it's just one of nature's obvious lessons which makes me even more self-conscious of my own foibles in parenting.
