Matchmakers

These two little boys love to find matches. They find the matching cars. They see a picture of a cow and run to the show me their cow puzzle piece. A firetruck drives by and they point out the firetruck toy at the playground. They see a shoe in a book and show me their own shoe. A picture of a beach on my computer causes them to point at the garage door where I know (via mommy telepathy) they are referring to how we drove in the car to the beach. They notice their digger truck and point down the stairs where I know (via mommy telepathy) they are referring to the truck book currently on the first floor.

And they'll say "two" to make sure I get that they found a pair. Sometimes, when it's more than two items matched, they'll say "more." Truly, some of their most proud faces happen when they've made an exciting match. A proud face that's reflected in my own.
