More on little boys

Noah's language skills are really starting to sky rocket, and although, being a boy, he'll probably never be as chatty as the girls (we can hope, at least), he's starting to really talk it up.

Today, he, Adam and I took Sarah to the orthodontist. After he had finished playing with their one toy, a fire truck, and had gotten all the enjoyment he possibly could from two stickers, Noah was standing on a stool looking out the window, watching traffic. I asked him what he saw and he said "cars". I said "what else do you see?" He said "more dirt" (was actually dirty snow).

Funny what he didn't see. For a little boy, there's nothing else of consequence out there, really. If I had asked a little girl the same question, I would have gotten an entirely different response. She would have seen "mommas" and "daddys". You know, people. She might have also noticed clouds or trees. Not boys. It's cars and dirt. That's all.

In other news, we still have slush. It's currently 40 degrees but will drop below freezing for the rest of the week. Kids are still out of school. I really don't know why, although I don't mind having them home. They're happy about it now, but wait til June when they have to make the days up. :(
