Secondly and even more so than the weather is his interest in directions, freeways, streets, how long it will take to get to our destinations, etc. Our car rides pretty much consist of him announcing when he sees exits he is familiar with, asking us what street we are on, excitedly telling Kendall that, "We are now on the 215 freeway!!!". :) It is quite funny to listen to. Without expanding too much on this, I will say that it can get a little hard/sad for me to talk about directions ALL the time (literally it can be the entire ride). I do secretly long for conversations with him about a more variety of things. But he is our wonderful little man, whose interests probably won't ever follow most kids...and that's okay. :)

You BET he's our wonderful little man! Anyone who doesn't get to spend a little time with this guy is DEPRIVED! Such sweetness--and what a smile!
And I bet the older he gets the more he can consciously form habits of talking about a variety of things.
Mom
With Ava she'll inform me after I ask her one question, "Mommy, I'm all done answering questions, I'd rather read a book now."
I think all kids have their own interests, which is never exactly what we would prefer to talk about, but like you said, you love them and cherish them for who they are and talk about what they want to talk about... or let them read a book. =)
You can always expand on that topic and add to regular maps and start exploring the state or country or world like countries and cities that are popular. We get this cool thing called little passports and its like a fake pen pal adventure(with no writing on your end) and it explores countries.
