a few recent conversations:
One of the nights when Andrew was away Julia ended up sleeping with me for awhile and at approximately 4:30am in this conversation happened:
Julia: Mom, why are houses straight even when the Earth is upside down?
Me (mumbled from under my pillow): It has to do with gravity
... this began a few minutes conversation on gravity which I don't really remember because I was half asleep...
Julia: But why are people straight even when they're on the bottom of the Earth? like in Antarctica?
Me: Again, it has to do with gravity... can we talk about more after breakfast??
(I'd really like to know what she dreams about!!)
While watching Andrew shovel off our deck last week a day after Julia, Benj, and I had gone to have blood work done:
Julia (to the window): "you can do it Dada, you can do it:
Julia (to me): "Dad has really strong muscles... They should have checked his blood pressure at the doctor's too."
While reciting the alphabet with Benjamin:
Me: ...a b c d e f g h i
Benjamin blinks his eyes
... q r s t u
Benjamin: "me?"
... t u
Benjamin: "me?"
... yes, u... v w x y z
(the funny thing is he only does these when he recites the alphabet with me, not when he does it with Andrew)
