Another Space Man in the Family?
Alec has discovered space (well "shpash"). He LOVES watching shuttle launch videos almost as much as Evan did at this age. Of course, Evan's tastes are a bit more sophisticated now so the boys argue over watching the launch (over and over "gain") or videos about the Mars rovers. Alec also says "Erf" while pointing to a picture of any planet. And "star". He also knows some of the words and signs for "twinkle twinkle little star".
Given the boys very different natures however, I think if they end up working for a space program it will be in very different jobs. I could see Evan actually being an astronaut given his love of adventures and easy-going way with all sorts of travel. I think his main hang up would be the dehydrated food options.
Alec, though, he's more likely to be a feet-on-the-ground engineer. The kid loves to figure things out; nothing stops him once he sets his mind to something. I don't see him going into space though. He doesn't even really like to go to the store. So far, he's not much of an adventurer. While I imagine someday he'll again be ok with being more than, say a 1/2" inch from me, I'm not sure I see "astronaut" in his future. I can imagine him designing rockets. If AJ is in charge, astronauts will go to Mars and beyond because AJ doesn't take "NO" for an answer.

He knows too much
As mentioned previously, Alec is reaping the rewards of a tonsillectomy without the pain and suffering. I guess he's been watching too many movies lately as noted by our exchange after dinner tonight.
AJ (still in his high chair, pointing at the TV): "Caw?" (translation "Cars" as in the movie)
Me: "No, not tonight."
AJ (now pointing toward the ceiling): "Up?"
I guess he shares his brother's taste in movies.
He also likes Curious George. He makes a monkey noise and then says "hat" to indicate the man with the yellow hat.

More Evan
 |
| The hazard of having identical clothes for the boys is sometimes you get your brother's pants |
 |
| Yum, brownies! |
 |
| The next Harry Potter? |
 |
| Evan was the only one in class with a 3D marshmallow structure. You can't imagine my pride! |
