Girls, girls, girls!

Rohan & Ryan got a new GeoTrax train set. When Fiona was out at Lost Pines, the kiddos spend all day Saturday playing with the train set.

Cameron has the same set, and they always played with it at his house during playdates so we figured we'll buy them the set.

Driving back from the store that evening , I can hear the kiddos talking in the back:

Ryan: At our playdate everyone is going to play with the GeoTrax
Rohan: Yeah, Aidan always plays with the GeoTrax.
Ryan: But if he takes any GeoTrax away i will be angry.
Rohan: Me Too.
Rohan: But Jesse (their BFF) can play with it
Ryan; Yeah Jesse can play, or Cameron
Rhea: What about Gavin?
Rohan: Who Gavin letulle? No.
Rhea: No, Gavin livingston.
Rohan: Yeah, Gavin Linvingston can play
Rhea: (causing trouble) Wot about Sally Kate? And Sarah?
To which Ryan goes (in his deepest ,correcting voice) .
Noooo. No Girls!

Aaah...India..

Yesterday, Fiona and Rhea were out shopping at HEB.
They were in the car, and they heard a car honk.

Rhea sighed, looked at Fiona and said "I missss India".

Ryan, Rohan and me were at Barnes and Noble and I saw a magazine with President Obama on it. So now in my revised role, as teacher and mommy(since the boys don't go to day care anymore), I try to make educational experiences all day long. I pointed out to Obama's picture and told them that this is the president of America. Rohan turns and looks at me with his know-it-all look and says very coolly - "Obama". I was taken aback that he knew his name....yet another reminder that they are always listening....even while they're playing and you don't think they're listening...
