> what he's interested in or wants to do.  So, every day we take a few walks
> through our large gated community and since he is nuts about owls, we walk
> over to a neighbor's door who has a door mat outside their front door that
> has owls on it for my son to admire.  This has been a routine now for a 
> few
> weeks and it's really cute, especially since he checks out all the other
> door mats just to see if they might also have owls on them, while he calls
> out, "owls, owls, owls?".  So, when my husband got home last night we
> decided to walk to the mall several blocks away to get some DQ as a treat.
> Dawson was taking turns holding my hand and my husband's when suddenly he
> froze and started yelling "owls, owls, owls!"  Dawson began pulling us
> excitedly toward a parking lot.  My husband began laughing hysterically
> while gently bringing Dawson back on track on the sidewalk.  I asked my
> husband what owls he saw and when my husband finally caught his breath 
> from
> laughing, he explained that Dawson saw the sign for Hooters restaurant and
> that's why he was getting so excited.  Since Dawson says, "nay nay" when 
> he
> wants to nurse, I laughed and said that Dawson would have the best of both
> worlds there having his owls and "nay nay"! LOL
