Yesterday in the cereal aisle.

Coen: I went to Argentina and bought two horses.

Me: Really? When did you go?

Coen: Five weeks ago. I got a white one and a brown one.

Me: Did you like Argentina?

Coen: No it was too hot. Camels like it hot but I don't like deserts.

This conversation continued off and on through out the store- at one point Coen put some candy bars in the cart.

Coen: My horses from Argentina eat chocolate.

Me (putting chocolate back on shelf): Well I think imaginary horses can eat imaginary chocolate- oh look here is a really big box. (I put giant imaginary box into the cart)

Coen: Well- okay.

And as the bag boy was putting the groceries in the cart Coen yelled out "Leave room for my horses in the trunk!"

I love this age- it is so much fun! We are talking a lot about geography (Coen's current obsession) but I don't remember ever talking about Argentina- other than just naming all the countries on the globe. But we look at a lot of maps and I answer a lot of questions about what foods different countries eat and what languages are spoken where.

Oh and Beckett is cute too. He says MAMA, and NO, and MINE, and STOP all day long- interspersed with a pitched screech that is made when he is mad, sad, happy, or indifferent. Good thing he is so cute.
