Shirsh!

Monday night our neighbors the Edmunds invited us over for family home evening. We started with a prayer, then the adults and the older children (well, mostly just 5-year-old Jacob) started carving pumpkins. Matthew wandered around a bit then saw the Edmunds' aquarium. "Shirsh!" he said. "Fish?" "Shirsh!" Close, I guess. Funny, I didn't know he knew the word for fish.

Then he spent the rest of the evening playing with various trucks and claw-armed cranes and such. Very manly activity. He particularly liked grabbing matchbox cars with the claw. Little boys, apparently, insticitively know what claws are for.
