This morning, after a spot of shopping at the GAP 40%-off-everything-in-the-entire-store event, Lilah and I headed over to the Museum of Nature. We've been there once before, I must admit though, I really enjoy taking her back to places we've been already. I find she learns and understands so much more in between visits and I absolutely love to listen to her and hear her perspective on things. It's so interesting and simple and beautiful.
Like for instance, when I told her one of the animals was called a Mammoth, she wondered where the Babboth one was? (Mama, Baba, you get it right?) Moments like that make me grin. It really is beautiful to see life through the eyes of a child.
We had a great day and arrived home with a new turtle!
Lilah's thought's on the new turtle, after studying his face:
"Turtle sad Mama. Have to get a new one...(long pause)...maybe get him some tablets!".
