Evy washed his hands in my bathroom looked around for a towel. I showed him the one nearest to him, and instead of reaching for a towel to dry, he flung his hands feverishly around spraying everything with water.
I paused.
"Mom," he said excitedly,"this is how birds dry off their feathers."

The boys were very chatty after being tucked into bed. Merritt likes to "play" the vent in his room. He runs his fingers across it and it makes a TWANGGGG sound through the house.
talky.talky.talky.talky.talky.twang.twang.twang.twang.
which means no sleepy.sleepy.sleepy.sleepy
I, very maturely, shushed them from my room with,"SHHHHHHHHH!"
Merritt responded from his room with,"shhhhhhhh!"
Got it.
