The childs imagination

Where in the world did this weather come from? It has been so nice this week, of course just in time to change for the worst before the weekend arrives. That's OK - I should really spend the weekend packing anyways.

The other day after school Claire and I were sitting on the stoop enjoying the weather. She was climbing up on the railing, which has a 10' drop on the other side and I told her she needed to stop before she fell.
C: (always pushing the limit) What will happen if I fall?
M: You could get really hurt Claire and then we might have to go to the hospital
C: What else could happen
M: You could get hurt really bad and die, then we would all be very sad
C: Like Mimere died - did she fall down too?
M: No Claire, she died from being old. But now she is in heaven
C: Where's heaven?
M: Way up in the sky, past all those clouds
C: Oh, OK

And she goes back to playing for a little while before stopping....

C: Which cloud do you think Mimere is in? (of course I point to a random one)
C: Do you remember when I was really little like Jenna, Mimere used to hold me all the time.

And with that we both continued playing with a smile on our faces and kisses blown up to the clouds.

2 more teeth

I may or may not have started Jennas baby book and this blog may or may not be the way I keep track of what is going on, but when I picked Jenna up from daycare today she had two more teeth on top. She now has her 4 front teeth up top and bottom 2 teeth. Can we stop the growing already?
