Me and daddy should totally build one of those. It's really easy. All you need is a giant log and a knife. And you just dig it out. And then you need to find a stick, ya know, to oar with. (His eyes glaze over a bit and he looks aside and says more to himself than to me).....Yeah, we should do that sometime.
Later as I was tucking him into bed he told me that he had done some more research on his intended project. It's called a dugout canoe and yeah, it'd be pretty easy to build. He lays down in bed with his hug and kiss, drifting off to sleep with visions of canoes. As I close the door I hear, Now mom, how do you put Indian paint on deerskins?
This kid has a lot of faith in the abilities and creativity of his parents. I'm not sure where it comes from.
Big Brother
Cole is bursting with ideas, energy and curiosity about the world. He loves movies, history, biographies of famous people past and present, and sharing his excitement with everyone around him. He's always got a notebook in hand to jot down his thoughts wherever he goes.
Middle Child
A wild child when she's with her siblings, always vying for a little spotlight. But take some time with just Av and she's the most interesting, thoughtful, imaginative, playful, storytelling little princess. She's in love with her chickens, insists on choosing her own clothes, and joyfully helps anyone who needs a hand.
The Baby
She has her brothers flair for the dramatic and her sister's wild streak. A typical baby of the family who challenges you to tell her No. She's never met an animal that isn't her most favorite in all the world and she loves to share big kisses and hugs.
