Asher (holding a purple wildflower): "Dad, do you see this green, and purple, and yellow? It's pollen, and bees carry pollen to make more flowers."
Me (amazed and astounded that my 3 1/2 year old knows the word 'pollen'): "You're right Asher, good job! Where did you hear that?"
Asher: "No where, I made it up myself."
In case you're curious, after a little coaxing he confessed that he learned it on Sesame Street. Or was it The Cat in the Hat? Wow, little kids really are sponges. Especially this one.
Side note: Yesterday evening after work I took the boys to run a few quick errands (and give Abby a needed break); as we were headed to the bank Asher says, "Dad, we should get Mommy some flowers." After another brief "what an extremely smart kid" moment, I whole heartedly agreed. He continued, "we should get ones with different colors...like red, and blue, and orange." These boys sure do love their mom. It was really sweet, especially after a rough day for them all.

So sweet! They are smarties, too.
Asher is one smart little man - intellectually and emotionally!
