Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

I am turning John into a Trekkie! Already mentioned he likes the theme music to Next Generation. Also though, he loves to watch the doors open and shut on the show. Of all things. But you know why? Because they open and shut like elevators (slide open, and slide shut) and that's just what he says when he sees it! He points at the screen and says "acre", which is his word for elevator. And yeah, it looks like people are going in and out of elevators. Funny. I'm telling ya, he's obsessed!

But he is so sharp. Last night we watched a little bit of Caillou, an episode where they were on a trip and Rosie started crying because Mommie was out of the car. Later, when John was in his crib and I was saying good-night, John said "Rosie..crying..Mommie"! He remembered that Rosie was crying and why.

On Sesame Street, he likes the closing credits where they show, in cartoon form, a boat going by the Statue of Liberty, and a whole bunch of other stuff, including a bird flying through a tunnel. Sometimes they don't show those credits, and John always gets upset when they don't. He'll whimper a bit and say "boat...tunnel", cuz he wants to see it!
