Practically Family

Matthew has a great memory for names. When we pick Cameron up from school, he'll wave to the other kids and call them by name. "Hiya Brendan! Look! Dat's Samir! See ya Toshi!" But apparently he's paying attention to more than Cameron's classmates. Today, as I turned on the car, NPR was playing Obama's speech on healthcare. When Matthew heard the voice, he gave an excited cry. "Oh! Dat's Uncle Bama!"

Obama has a distinct voice. Kids pick up on that.

LOL! Uncle Bama! Too cute.
But honestly it's pretty cool that he recognizes his voice.

Mom, he's one smart dairy, egg and peanut-free cookie!

Thanks Debbie B! I thought it was pretty funny :)

Theresa, his voice you say? Ahhhh, you may have something there . . . and here I thought Matthew was recognizing Obama's stance on universal health care . . . ah well!
