Anson Updated

Anson is always wanting to learn.Sometimes he asks questions he already knows the answer to. Today he asked me, "Mom, what's the brown part in the center of that avocado?" I said, "That's a really big seed." He replied, in a matter of fact tone, "Actually, it's a pit, mom." I looked it up, and wikipedia calls it a pit(hard seed casing). I guess we were both right, Anson :). It is great to have him around when I forget my shopping list, but have named off the items we need. He won't let me forget a thing.

He always requests "special permission to jump on the bed," a scripture story and an animal kiss before going to sleep. He is often thankful for clementines, chocolate milk, and ice cream in his prayers.

He gets concerned about the smoke detector's green flashing light. There happen to be two of them in our home that are currently flashing. He doesn't like to be near them. We don't know what has caused this smoke detector light phobia.

He continues to laugh a lot, and has such a sweet disposition. He is also reading pretty much everything, including words like pomegranate. I put a video of him explaining how his periscope works.
