Caden is learning all kinds of things freely (he's 3).  Having a pre-schooler is great because it reminds me how we ALL learn naturally and love learning.  His new favorite movie is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  When he was one years old, he loved Nacho Libre.  When he was 2 it was Spiderman.  Now it's TMNT.  People might not like our choice of movies for our 3 year old, but when you have a house full of teenagers, well, it's kind of hard to monitor.  Anyway, we decided not to worry too much about it.  One unexpected educational moment that has come from it, is that he is learning his colors.  "I'm the orange guy - I'm Mikey"...and he picks out orange clothes every day.  "Anthony is the Red guy", etc.   He didn't know his colors before his obsession with the turtles.  You never know where learning will take place.  Everything is learning, all day long...we are always learning.  Another thing he's learned is the word "butt-crack".  He loves the sound of that word.  I don't know where he gets it...probably from the middle-schoolers.  I finally let him know that it would be more appropriate for him to say "buttocks" ... the proper name for the rear-end (didn't think he would catch on to gluteous-maximus).  So now he says, "Ow, I fell on my buttocks!"  It will go over better than "Oops, I fell on my butt-crack" when the grandparents get here.
