R

After Mor Mor & Mor Far left today we went to Panera for lunch and Lowe's to get some birdseed. At Lowe's, naturally, we had to sit on the riding lawn mowers (first things first of course), then we got the bird seed and then we looked at the washer and dryers.

While we were browsing the washing machines a nice black family came up and starting chatting with us and smiling at the boys. Both O & K pounded (when you hit your fist on the other person's fist) with them as a way of saying hi.

Then as we were heading to the checkout line Owen exclaimed: "Look, it's just like Joy-Lin!" and pointed to a cute young Asian girl with her mother. Joy-Lin is the Chinese adopted daughter of Chris and Lisa.

After passing them, Owen then points to a middle-age white woman and states: "Look, it's just like Amy!" Amy is our great neighbor who is white.

This all took place in the span of 3 minutes or less. And they are not even 3 yet.

K & O are starting to recognize numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4.... And even the letters O, K and sometimes M and P.

And they evidently recognize R, even if they don't yet recognize the letter.
