Stories

This is one of the babies

Truitt loves to tell stories. Some of them we understand and some of them we don't. We went to the zoo a while back and got to hear about the Giraffes from their keeper. We learned a lot about them and got to watch them eat from her hand. Very cool! Did you know that Giraffes have a heart the size of a basketball? They need one that big to pump the blood all the way up that long neck. Makes sense right? Well, we learned about the Giraffes that day, including the two babies, in a very memorable way. A few days later Truitt started telling a story and these were the words we were able to pick out - Giraffes...."mannas"...."apples"...."gass"..."loooooong net".... and "baby". Translation: We saw Giraffes eating bananas, apples and grass. They had long necks and there were two babies. When we ask him to tell us a story he normally picks this one and starts with the words "A story" (big sigh), and then the scenario above unfolds.

The other story he likes to tell is the one about Babe Ruth his daddy told him. He knows all the details, where the sound effects go and about the turtle that saw the home run ball and said "Yeah Ruth!" What? You didn't know there was a turtle in the story...well, you need to check your sources. : ) He has a great imagination. We are so thankful. Have a great day! Love, Kayci
