Panda!

I think one of the payoffs I get as a mom is to see the genuine amazement that my children find in the world around them.

Last night while eating our gourmet meal of Panda Express, Ridge was very excited to see all of the pandas in the restaurant. There was a panda on the counter as a promotion, there were pictures on the wall, and there were pictures on our drinks and you can be sure that Ridge pointed them out to us. By the soda fountain there was even a picture of a panda drinking a soda--to which Ridge said, "Dad, panda, drink, mouf." That is our little biologist, studying about animals at all of 22 months!

He may know his biology but getting into fortune cookies is rough stuff.
