We found out how much Kevin is aware and understands through a recent outing. I mentioned that we joined a local Catholic Homeschooler Group. Every Friday, during the fall months they meet at a different metropark for a hike. Each week, the evening before the hike, Jon & I would take Kevin for a ride in the car to the new park to practice where we were going and what we were going to do. Despite the fact that we tell Kevin what our destination is when we get in the car, it always seems like he has his own agenda. Especially since he basically knows that if we go this way we are going to church, if we go this way we are going to the market, if we go this way we are getting on the highway (which he loves). So on this particular day, he seemed to be very excited about going someplace new, but when we passed the library (one of the places we went to walk last winter) he became very upset. Then we realized he had been so excited because he thought we were going to the library when we started on that path even though it had been months since we had been there. Very smart!
All in all it worked out and he enjoyed his hike and picnic at the metropark.
