Since Jane was a screaming newborn, we've always listened to music in the car. For the longest while it was just the Children's Songbook CDs. Then we switched to the Wiggles for a while. Now we are into The Laurie Berkner Band. Jane is sweetly silent as long as there is music on, or "gewsic" as she calls it. I treasure this silent, meditative time (is it strange that I meditate to "Henry the octopus is a very special friend to me" or "thu-thu-thu-thu-thunderstorms..."), and most of the time I don't mind listening to kid music all the time and sometimes I find myself really enjoying it, some of Laurie Berkner is pretty interesting musically.
But the other day we were driving downtown to pickup Eric from school and we hit some really slow/stopped traffic so I opted to have a conversation with Jane. I started asking about her favorites. Holy cow is she opinionated!! I had no idea about some of these things:
Favorite Color: Orange (I've asked her several times since, and she really does like orange).
Favorite Toy: The Flower
Favorite Food: Cereal
Favorite Uncle: Uncle Jordan
Favorite Cousin: Joey (no surprise there)
Favorite Song: I am a Child of God
Favorite Movie: Charlie and Lola (another no surprise)
Favorite Treat: Stucker (sucker)
Seems like there were more. It's pretty neat to see her understand more and more concepts like favorites, etc.

I am always amazed by the intelligence of a child. I am not, however, shocked to hear how smart your little girl is growing to be! :-)
On a really good accident, I stumbled across your blog! Your daughters are so beautiful and seem to be growing rather quickly! I hope to see your sweet family someday soon!! Your little girls look like they know how to have lots of fun!
<3 and miss you!
