"So much you can't even STAND it!"

David saw ice skating this morning on television. He was very interested. I told him how much I love ice skating and how I learned to ice skate in Colorado and the Broadmoor Hotel when I was only 3 years old. He said, "hmmmm". Didn't figure he really cared. So I then told him that we have an ice skating rink very close to our house and that I could take him ice skating sometime.

He smiled so big and said, "Mom, I will love ice skating so much that you can't even stand it". That a boy. I think he might just love it as much as Mommy. And I'll bet he even be better than me!

I love David's willingness to just jump in and try. What a great kid! Maybe we can skate at the Broadmoor when we move to Colorado..........

This one will make Daddy happy......... Zach is really talking these days. He has a lot of new words in his vocabulary. Daddy, Mommy, Daado (David), box, fish, ducks, sit, stop, go, what's that?, look, oops, truck, choo choo, ba ba (bottle), up, book, horsey....just to name some of them. Of course, he says, "No No No No !" (hmmmm, wonder how often he hears that )....

So here is the part that will make Daddy smile. This morning, Zachy was running around with his Thomas The Tank Engine book. He flips through the pages rapidly and asks, "what's that?" over and over. Then he spotted Daddy's book on the table. "What's that?" he asked. I said, "that's a book, Zachy. A FISH book. See the fishies? Can you say fish?" Zach looked at the book and said, "BASS", then smiled.

OK Dad, starting him a tad early don't ya think?
