Jesse's responses have been consistent, but have been augmented in 
the last 24 hours since we posted by his endless questions, and my 
partner and my, endless attempts to explain the whole story to him..

His initial responses were:

"The owls..they send messages..."
"Harry has a white owl..like mine!" (Yes, he has the Hedwig look a 
look white puppet owl whose head swivels)
"My favorite is Harry."

Upon hearing that my favorite is Albus Dumbledore, when he got to the 
picture of Dumbledore he said "There Dumbledore! Your friend and 
mine!"

Then came the hard part..my partner and I tried to explain the whole 
story, clearly and slowly....

We told him that Harry was a little baby, about the age of his sister 
(Eleanor is 16 months). Voldemort came and killed Harry's mom and dad 
("they go to the summerland with Obi-Wan?" says Jesse), and tried to 
kill Harry. But Harry lived, which is why Hagrid says "Harry..you are 
the boy who lived!"

Today, Jesse added a toast to the evening meal. "Viva! Viva Harry..he 
lived!" Okay I can't do a very coherent explanation of everything 
Jesse does, he is wearing me out! But this is related to Robin Hood 
and Richard the Lion-Heart. Robin at one point toasted the King and 
said Viva the King! So..I hope this follows....

More soon....if you want to check out, now's the time!
