Before Eagle was born, I started telling Bear the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff, only I put in the names of our three boys for the three goat brothers... Tonight Bear asked for a story, so I started to tell him about the three brothers who were goats: The Wolf goat, the Bear goat, and...
Bear interjected, "I'm a cow."

Today we were in the car when the following conversation took place.
Me: what noise?
Bear: the butterfly noise
Me: a butterfly noise?
Bear: yeah, the butterfly clicking noise.
Me: oh, no, I don't hear that.
Bear: I hear it. I think there's a butterfly back here.
Me: oh you do huh?
Bear: oh it's on me, it TICKLES!!!

Last night Wolf must have been nearly asleep when he came shuffling out to the living room. "Mom," he said "what family is the platypus in?"
"It's a monotreme, which means it's a mammal that nurses its babies but it also lays eggs. There is only one other animal that's a monotreme and it's called the echidna."
"Wow, cool, ok..." and he shuffled back off to bed.

Wow! I didn't know the name of the platypus family! I did know that there were only two mammals that laid eggs and nursed their young. But, I didn't know the name of the other animal, either! Way to go, smart mama!!
