Nine: First response to Genesis 2:18 was that Adam should have picked a dog; woman is just going to drag Adam into sin.
Twelve: Could animals talk back then? This is a very interesting passage and it shows how mighty God is that He could create all this. It is also interesting that there are these four rivers created that we still know about today.
Both boys responded similarly to the question of who God was. The oldest said, "He is an all powerful being who created us in his image and sent his son to die for us so we might not perish but have eternal life," while the younger said, "He is the sole creator of the universe and sent his son to die on the cross for our sins."
Forty-seven: I am amazed when I read this passage at how many details have attachments in my mind on them because of things I've been taught in the past. For instance in 1:29-30, I always note the implied vegetarianism because somewhere in my past someone else pointed it out to me. Yet when I move on to 2:5, I notice that there are no plants yet, a detail I've never noticed before. Part of the wonder of the Bible is this freshness in every reading.
