Reuben and I went to the Saluda Shoals Nature Center this morning. They had a saber tooth tiger skull on display since they lived in the area a couple thousand years ago. I lifted Reuben up so he could check it out. I pointed at the skull and trying to think of words he knew said "Lion. Roar." trying to communicate something of the fearsome beast the skull belonged to. Reuben examined it closely, touched the teeth, looked up at me skeptically and signed banana.

hilarious! I love it.
I can see how the teeth might look like bananas...lol. :)
Bwahaha!
Makes sense to me. How fun to see how his little (or not so little...) brain works when he starts to make associations!
Yeah, I never would have thought of that, but I can totally see it now. Reuben sure seems to be gaining a lot from going to all of these fun centers, parks, swamps, etc. It is inspiring me to go look for some places like that around here to take Isaac and Lily to. We just don't seem to have as many swamps...at least ones that aren't frozen at the time!
I love signing. Gives you a peek into what their thoughts are. It is funny too when they decide to make up their own signs or refuse to learn some. Both my kids saw no need for "Thank you". Ingrates.
