Power, compost, and shoes

We have power!!!!!

Luke on making compost:

“To make pop tarts into soil you have to use a proper bin outside. It has to be outside because it would stink inside the house. You have to leave it and check on it every week. It turns into soil. Raisins, leaves, and other food turn into soil, but not mayonnaise ‘cause it would stink and attract animals. Rats and raccoons would get it. It takes about one week and then it’s plant food.”

Luke told Raha, “When I get agitated I call my mommy Mom and my daddy Dad.” Score one for an early language-rich environment.

Aaron is now rapidly picking up new words, and he's much more willing now to imitate words when asked to say them. Aaron's recent new words:

Toe
Shoes (choos!)
milk - he says this while simultaneously doing the sign for it
