Over the past few weeks we have become "farmers". We are now the proud owner of four steers. We let Jared name them so they are: George, Sedgewick, Elliott, and Sam. Three of the four of those names are the Pirates Who don't do anything characters. Jared goes out to talk to them like they are humans. It is really funny. The first day we had them he came into the living room and he had his gymnastics medal on. I asked him why and here was his response:
"I want to wear it out to see my cows. They will be so proud of me"
Later we were at a restaurant and he was telling the waitress about his cows. She asked him what type of cows he had and his reply was "they are brother cows". The only thing we can think of is that Craig has been trying to teach him about bulls, cows, and calves. When he asked Craig if our cows were bulls, Craig said no they were boy cows.
We were at the mall the other day and Craig and Jared went outside for a break. They were discussing the tress and Craig told him he thought the tree was a maple tree and Jared said no dad, it is a South Dakota tree.
Finally, we were at moms the other night and she had company. When Craig and my dad went to the door so did Jared, Sierra, and Kolton. Jared knew that the guest was Danny Slatten, so Jared looked at Danny and said let me introduce you to my two cousins, Sierra and Kolton. Now everyone say Hi!.
Boy how he is growing and thinking about things. It truly amazes me.
