Another Deep Thought from Thing 1

So, Audrey woke up in the middle of the night 2 nights ago. She was sick, I was already awake so it didn't really bother me. But I kept her up a little while longer after she was finished being "icky" and we chatted for a little while. While she was eating some yogurt to calm her tummy. She was being goofy and making faces at her reflection in the glass door to the deck. I told her to stop looking at her reflection (teasing her). She looked at me and said, "Oh I thought that was a ghost...". So we giggled a little about that, and then I said, "No, silly that is your reflection." And she turned to me and said, "Sometimes I look at my reflection and think, what if that was another dimension..." (She did have a tough time pronouncing that word...) I said, "Oh, that would be cool...". And we finished up the conversation talking about monkey's or geese or something or other like that. I know that she got the other dimension thing from watching "Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension". 


Wow... she shocks me from time to time... I love that girl and all of her crazy brain power :)

A Philosophical Child

I needed to tell you a story about my Audrey before I forget it. Sorry things have been a touch busy around here. I will update everything in another post or 4.

We received 4 free tickets to the Children's Museum here, and we went on the 31st of March. I however forgot to take the camera so we didn't get any pics, sorry. The girls had lots of fun. Though Audrey seems to be too big for the younger kids area and not quite big enough to really have fun in the big kids area. (More on that another time). However this story happened when we got home that night and were eating dinner.

We were sitting down to eat our Mac & Cheese. I was a little tired so, while we were chatting I wasn't really thinking about what Audrey was saying to me.  In the middle of our conversation she said, "I wish the museum had things about outer space.". All I thought at this point was, "okay, next time we will go to the Planetarium." Next thing I hear from Audrey, "Wouldn't it be cool if all of outer space was just a giant book? And we were still alive but just really, really small and living on one of the pages." (I may have gotten a little of what she said written wrong here, but this is really close to what she said.)

I nodded and said yes, yes, eat your food. And I didn't think much about what she said.

The next day I took a nap and when I woke up, it dawned on me what she had said to me. And how really deep that thought was. Just a strange thought but it showed me that my 5 yr old little girl can understand or at least comprehend some really abstract ideas. And that she has those really abstract ideas floating around in her little brain.

Any how, I felt I needed to write that one down. So sad that I didn't get it down sooner.
