Geocaching, Super Powers, and Jason-Jackson

We went geocaching on Saturday. Geocaching is where you use a GPS unit to find a treasure that’s hidden somewhere in the world. There was one on our street so we sought it out as a family afternoon activity. Look! We found it! What super sleuths! We signed our names and put it back.
That was so much fun that we decided to find the next closest one, a half mile away. Walking along, we got a little distracted when we spotted a worm inching across the sidewalk. Had to go in for a closer look. 
Worm. 
Airplane!!! 
Worm. 
Focused. On. The. Worm.
Elliot and Dad eventually found the second geocache. 
Christmas came early for this Mama. Look what Santa brought me! A boy in a box! 
Knock knock. 
Who’s there? 
This guy! 
Despite Travis’s lack of English language proficiency, the boy has skillz when it comes to dominoes. 
Also we have figured out his super power. Looking at a room with enough toys on the floor to be a real-live Where’s Waldo type of puzzle, if you mumble to yourselves about trying to find a specific item, whether it be large or small or under a pile of mess, Travis can find it. His super power is knowing where things are and bringing them to you in a time of need. That, my friends, is no small ability! 
Today when I picked Elliot up from school, I asked him if he played with any friends today. Yes, he had. So I asked him what their names were. He said Jason. Then he said but his real name is Jackson. And thereafter he referred to his friend as “Jason-Jackson.” As in “Jason-Jackson and I played chase on the playground.” The one friend of his who comes to our house on Mondays for a regular play date whose name is Nate and who is also in Elliot’s class at school… Elliot claims that he has never seen him in class. Maybe Nate looks different in the preschool lighting. ha!
