Jacob, You are Brilliant

I know every mother thinks this of her child, but today he said something that really surprised me.
We were on our way to the gym this morning (around 9 a.m.) and as we pulled onto the street Jacob said, "Moo." Or at least this is what I thought I heard since I know he can say "Moo" when he sees a cow. But I also know that there are NO cows on my street.
I glanced back at him in the rear view mirror to try and see what he was looking at. He was looking up. I looked up and this is what he was looking at.

It is hard to see in the picture, but it is the moon.
About a week and a half ago, Jason and I took Jacob on a walk around the block before he went to bed. We looked up at the sky and saw the moon. We pointed to it and told him what it was. That was about it. We really haven't mentioned the moon since or been outside to see it. So for him to look up and say "moon" really surprised me. A budding genius on our hands--I'm sure of it!!
