Funny story about Taylor. As I was sitting next to the campfire this past weekend, I overheard Taylor talking to Bennett. "Bennett do you know what ovulate means?" That of course, piqued my interest because recently we gave Taylor "the talk" and though I don't remember specifically telling him that word, he does know how babies are made. I thought perhaps he was sharing some of his new knowledge with Bennett. I turn around and say to Taylor "Hey Taylor, why don't you let Mom and Dad tell Bennett what that means." Taylor gives me this blank "what are you talking about" look. Now we are both confused. I heard "ovulate" and he doesn't understand why he can't tell Bennett what "ovulate" means.
After a few more sentences we figured out that he was actually trying to say "obliviate". He was thinking of a spell in the Harry Potter books and couldn't quite remember how to say it. Ahhh now it is making a lot more sense. Once we got that sorted out he still decided that was the spell he wanted to use, so both Taylor and Bennett ran around the campsite yelling "obliviate" over and over and over. Unfortunately, coming out of their mouths it still continued to sound like "ovulate." I'm sure our neighbors were wondering what in the world was going on next door. After they had screamed it over and over for several hours I suggested that perhaps they use another spell. Luckily, they decided that the ovulate spell wasn't getting them anywhere, so they switched to aquamenti instead. Maybe that one would work better.

Oh dear, don't you hate that? I really wonder what some folks think of my three little boys sometimes...
Isn't that the spell you had them do before you got pregnant this last time? Although somewhere in that chant they were suppose to say something about a girl baby. You will have to teach them another spell next time :)
