"I just have to cut these fish in half for you, ok, Daddy? I have to cut them in two half for you, ok, Daddy?"
"Ok, Asa."
"You can have the tail, ok, Daddy?"
"Ok, Asa. Thank you."
Is there anyone out there that can say my boy doesn't have number sense?

Some Poke
How did I do that? I thought I had saved and published my first blog, looked around a little, hit a back arrow, saw another window, started typing, published, and immediately noticed that the only thing published was blog #2! It was the short one, of course.
I have a family life that is well worth blogging about. However, my main intent is to record some of the awesome things that happen in my life for myself. Perhaps one day it will also be for my wife and I to pour over as Asa goes to school, or possibly for Asa to read when he has children. Did I just write that? I hadn't thought about a blog, but have been terrible about writing in the baby book. While telling my mother Asa stories last week, she says, "You'd better be writing these things down!" I hate writing, partly because I could lose paper, a notebook, or anything else with writing on it. For the most part I can save electronic writing in enough places that it can never be lost (except for the incident in paragraph one). So here I am.
A few nights ago, with a smile on his face and a nice sing-song voice, Asa says, "You want some poke in your eye?" I can only guess at where this particular chain of words come from. It is'nt that I don't know my son, but no matter how much time I spend with him I continue to marvel at the gems he can come up with out of the blue.
My best guess is that he got it from the loving uncle. He really wants to educate him in the ways o the world, so when he tells him not to do something, he often adds a good reason why. It usually goes something like this: "We don't want to do that! We could poke an eye out! We don't want to poke an eye out, do we? No, that wouldn't be good at all. Let's just leave that along so we don't poke an eye out, okay?"
I have heard Asa use the term 'some' to denote plurality ( he is only 33 months old), like, "I have some two stick!" Never before had I heard him use it with 'poke' or 'eye' but I have to guess it was Uncle. How he managed to turn his education into a playful taunt to use with me I will never know! I still can't know for sure if that is the true origin of the comment. It is, after all, a guess. Sometimes is life, a best guess is all that is necessary.
