Deleting TV from our dinner time routine was the best thing we ever did. The conversations we have with Havi now are brilliant. Dinosaurs are pretty cool in Havi's world at the moment, a couple of nights ago we had a conversation over dinner that went something like this...
Havi: "You know dinosaurs and humans were together."
Me: "No, I don't think so baby."
Havi: "Yes, they were. The dinosaurs were on one earth and the humans were on another earth. One earth was in England and one was in Austin, Texas. Both earths were in the whole wide world."
Me: "Oh, really, are you sure?"
Havi: "Yeah, and mosquitoes too."
Me: "Oh, OK. And where are the dinosaurs now?"
Havi: "They died. They got buried and their bones are in the museum."

All thanks to the great PBS Kids show "Dinosaur Train"

I love that Havi thinks that Peter and I know everything. She'll even argue the point if we claim not to know the answer. When she wakes up in a morning, she's awake within seconds - not sure how she does it. But conversations like this are normal seconds after waking up...
Havi: "Why are the birds not singing outside my window?"
Me: (It was too early for me to come up with an answer that made sense)"I dunno"
Havi: "You know silly, you know everything, remember?"

Havi's swear word! Yes, she has one all to herself. It originated from the word 'stupid'. She said it a couple of times and I told her I didn't like that word. So next time she went to say it she caught herself and said 'stook' instead.
Now she says 'stook' (and so do Peter and I) with so much passion when she's annoyed at something. It's hilarious.
"Stook!"
