Jonathan's favorite bits recently are Fluorine, Estonia, Great Gray Owl.
I'm pretty sure he does know the Estonian flag, but he has now started this game where he goes through them and calls them all "Estonia." I think he just likes to say the word! But yesterday, he was doing that, then he got to the real Estonia and hesitated, like he knew he was being silly so maybe he shouldn't call that one Estonia because it would be right. So I think then he just said, "stone."

I also showed him a bunch of subtraction equations - we haven't seen those in ages. He was asking for new bits, but I told him we had already seen new bits today and I wouldn't bring more new ones out until tomorrow. So the math dots started to seem new again. I did the equations I had made before, and then just had to make up several more because he kept wanting them. (:

He also asked what a kiwi was, so the next time we went to the store, I bought three. (Ha! glad he didn't ask about the horned melon - I have no idea where to get one of those...) We ate all three right away when we got home because he liked them so much! I peeled them, and then he cut them up.
