The kids had so much fun, after their naps they both wanted to go outside and play in the leaves again. Titus is particularly fun to talk to. It's fun to ask him to describe why he likes doing certain things. The leaves discussion when something like this:
Titus: (immediately after waking up from his nap) Daddy! We need to go play in the leaves again!
Daddy: (smiling, but still parenting) You mean would like to play in the leaves again. Mommy and Daddy take care of your needs. Ok?
Titus: (realizing this mistake, it's a frequent one) Right! Can we go outside and play in the leaves?
Titus: (realized he left a word off, makes eye contact with Daddy) Please?
Daddy: (redirecting, because we are leaving for dinner) Did you have fun playing in the leaves?
Titus: Yeah!
Elsa: (interjecting from the change table, slightly delayed) Yeah!
Titus: I love playing in the leaves.
Daddy: You do? What do you love about playing in the leaves?
Titus: (quick and disorganized, but honest) I love to play the leaves because Daddy counts and then Elsa runs then it's Titus' turn and then I go really really fast, too fast and jump over the leaves! And then I throw them and leaf rain!
Daddy: (amused) You make it rain leaves?
Titus: (bright) Yeah! (short pause) Daddy I hungry!
Daddy: Okay. We are going to get some pizza!
Titus: Oh! I love pizza!
Daddy: You do? What do you love about pizza?
Titus: I love pizza...umm...because it's food!
Yeah, so not all conversations are not all as deep and revealing as the rest.
