Check it out!

Poor Sven has an ear infection, due to spring allergies. Last night, as he transitioned from sleep to awake for the umpteenth time, he told me "those hippos make me nervous." This is the first time I heard Sven mention that something made him "nervous." I'm still wondering what he was dreaming about.

Sven's favorite phrase these days is "check it out." The other night Erik bought him a new Spiderman notebook and he said "Mommy - I got a new toy. Want to check it out?"
