Yesterday Audrey started learning family surnames from the Christmas calendar. "Kara" is the closest to a word she has mastered ("car") Audrey is so self motivated to communicate which is such a joy.
Also yesterday my Urban Iron teacher told a cute kid story. She is a marine biologist at our Aquarium. She tells her kids and school groups that although her job sounds and is cool it is not a well paid profession. BUT, it does sometimes have perks. A recent perk: The circus is currently in town and the elephant trainer requested a behind the scene tour of the aquarium which Jen is going to provide. She told her children this is cool as she gets to "scratch the elephant trainer's back and visa versa". Her son took her literally and was impressed that she got to scratch the elephant trainers back. Then she explained how it was better than that and how he will benefit too.
