I just love how children interpret everything so literally.
For example, my son had Tuesday off from school last week because it was a built-in snow day. I was excited to have an additional day to sleep in so you can imagine how annoyed I was to hear him up before 7:00. When I crawled out of bed to investigate his early awaking I found him staring out the window. Before I could open my mouth to reprimand he turned to me with a look of despair. "Mom, it's a snow day and there is no snow on the ground," he moaned. It turned out that the excitement of making a snowman had him up extra early that morning.
Two days later, while preparing breakfast for the kids, little Sis looked at me and said, "Mommy, you know that shampoo they show on the T.V. that makes babies not cry any more? It is weird." I guess she had seen a Johnson & Johnson No More Tears Shampoo commercial. I could almost picture her twenty years older calling and proclaiming "Mom, I used the magic shampoo but the baby is still crying. HELP!!" Wow, I am thankful the the opportunity to set her straight while she is young!

I love how their brains work. Glad to hear from you. :)
Yes, I'm glad you're back too! I love both comments by the kids. So cute how they see the world and interpret the things we see as normal. The eyes of a child...
Yeah! We are giggling with you! You have been missed - but don't be hard on yourself - at least YOU have a blog! Most of us don't - guess that's one reason we rely on you keeping us smiling. By the way, you did post in Jan - all about your wonderful trip. So, you have a post for every month. Nice job! I love how you describe things, I can just picture those little ones faces. Love and miss you all. Mom xo
