Team Arlo

I never anticipated the rather obvious detail upon the arrival of Arlo to our family. Are you ready for this groundbreaking revelation?
He. Is. Different. Than. Hugh.
For months now I have introduced bits and pieces to Arlo that resonated with Hugh. Ahem, mostly machines and books. At the same time, I have skipped the things that did not interest Hugh. And because Arlo is...well, awesome and will accept anything {minus pomegranate}, we went along our merry way. Until recently when Arlo discovered....tucked away, under mountains of machines...a red hockey stick. He picked it up. Looked at me then to Hugh. We shrugged our shoulders as Arlo had just crossed into unknown territory called...Hockey. He returned his attention back to the stick and swung...hard. That action alone impressed us. But then he crawled around the floor...passed by a ball...and headed right for his wheel. WHAM. SLAPSHOT. He sent it flying across the room. We fell silent {also impressive, I might add}. Next, he crawled to a wooden puck-like TinkerToy. WHAM. No mercy.I don't know what amazes me more ::
1. Discovering differences
2. Life lessons from our children
3. The velocity of a swinging hockey stick
