Olympic Confusion

This has been an interesting week and a half. We've been watching the Olympics, something Oliver and I have loved doing, and Our Princess has been watching with us. I'm sure she has been zoned out at school, I normally advocate going to bed right at 7:30, but this happens once every 4 years, so we have let her stay up, especially to watch the figure skating. It's been very educational. We've looked for the countries on our globe and then looked them up online to see if the country is snowy in the winter; or if, like Mexico, they have to practice elsewhere.

On that note, Our Princess has peppered us with questions all week long about what's going on and where they are from, but the most common question that comes up every time someone new comes on is, "Is that a boy or a girl?"

It started with Kd Lang at the opening ceremonies, which her daddy told her was a boy, to Shaun White, to some of the short-haired or pink-wearing figure skaters. It's been an interesting week. Really.
