Sarah and Adam: The Next Generation

Making Gus Laugh

New Pics

New photos from the past two months are up on Flickr. Enjoy!

Also, yesterday when we were on a walk, we come to the view of Mt Rainier, and Jasper points in the distance, and says, "that's Seward Park." (This is impressive because it took us months to figure that out!)  Then when Adam pointed at a tree, and said, "Jasper, do you know what kind of tree that is?" Jasper replied with, "That's a monkey tree. It looks like monkey tails."  Later we're passing another plant, and Jasper points to it and says, "That's a rhododendron."   

Back Talk

Jasper has gotten extremely opinionated lately. Today we were watching a video from September of Uncle Marc singing Old MacDonald. In the video, Marc asks Jasper what animal comes next on the farm. As we're watching the video here and now, Jasper says:
    "A sheep! A sheep! A sheep, PLEASE."
When Uncle Marc persists in the video in singing about a hen, Jasper says,
    "A goat!  How about a goat?"
Then, later in the video, Marc sings about a pig. Jasper says,
    "I don't like pigs. Not a pig!"
Meanwhile, Gus stands next to Jasper, bouncing up and down throughout hte song, saying his version of 'dance, dance' while watching the video and listening to the song.
