Just a quick note (big blog coming, really!) to jot down something Oliver said today while he was sharing something long and rambling, as we were driving on a road that leads past the zoo:
"No, we're not going to the zoo - we take the bus to go to the zoo, not our car. I like going to the zoo - my favorite is the penguins. I was watching the penguins which were splashing into the water. Penguins use their wings to swim through the water - OH! - just like birds use their wings to fly through the air. It's just the same!"
Then he demonstrated to show how similar penguins swimming and birds flying look.

We have a penguin enthusiast, too, for precisely that reason. There's a very comical video circulating the internet in which someone has rubbed out the water from the image so it looks like the penguins actually fly. She finds it very funny to show it to unsuspecting people, nod importantly, and proclaim "Yup. It's fake. Penguins don't FLY!"
We'll have to invite Oliver to the much talked about 5th birthday she's planned at the Sea World penguin exhibit :)
