On our drive home this morning, he said "I saw two fire trucks." I didn't see any and was about to ask when he clarified "at Applefest, I saw fire trucks. Pink one and red one and another red one." Y'all the Applefest event was in September. And we didn't even spend more than a few minutes staring at the pink (breast cancer awareness) fire truck. We did get up close to the two red ones. Obviously this was a highlight in his short life.
Later on today he said: "'member Knowledge? Threw sticks in street." Knowledge was our SC neighbor's grandson (quite a name to live up to) who threw sticks into our street the last time we saw him, in July.
Later he said "Didn't feed giraffes" which is referring to our visits to the awesome SC zoo we frequented. You can feed the giraffes lettuce and they'll eat it right out of your hands with their crazy long tongues. Eli never, ever got on board with that. He did not want any giraffe tongue coming at him.
And even yesterday Eli said "got scared at Deanna's...scared of airplane." Deanna is our friend who is letting us store our stuff at their house. Eli was super freaked out by the crop duster plane that flew near there when we were there unpacking, in August.
I'm not sure if it's normal for kids to remember things like this but it's quite entertaining. And a good reminder to watch what Eli sees/hears/does!
This was Eli learning the word condensation this afternoon. Check out Instagram for the video. Love this kid.
