Eck Eck Eck Eck Eck
Saturday, October 18th, 2008Henry is fascinated with eggs, or maybe he’s just fascinated by the fact that he can say what they are. We had some eggs sitting on the counter for the past couple of days, and whenever he saw them, he’d say “eck. eck. eck. eck. eck” It’s never just once – he always points and repeats it several times.
Yesterday I was out with him working on the coop. I was holding up a piece of siding and trying to maneuver myself so I could screw it on, but I sort of noticed him going into the chicken run. He came out and I was still pretty busy, but again, I sort of noticed that he was saying “eck eck eck”. He must have said it 50 times. When I finally got it attached, I stepped back and looked at him and he was proudly holding an egg and telling me what he found. That’s the first time he collected an egg!
I grabbed the camera and took a quick video.
