jt, you are exasperating but at times, you really amaze me with your insights... let's see... a little while ago, you asked me and dad this question - "what does it feel like to die?" WTF?!?! i know you think about death once in a while and we have tried to answer all of your questions honestly and simply. so, i kinda stayed quiet when you asked this question and your dad also kinda stayed quiet and while you didn't keep talking, we could tell that it was really on your mind... i am not ready to have this conversation with a 4 year old. but your dad handled it pretty well. he answered, "when a person dies, it gets really quiet and then really dark". you seemed pretty satisfied with the answer but your dad and i were so surprised that such a question would be on your mind...
today, driving home from school, i had to stop to pick up some noodles and i was telling you how difficult it was going to be to take both of you out to get the food because i am always nervous that you might run into the street. you said to me, "mommy, you don't really know me - i would never do such a thing". you really do talk beyond your years... i can't even imagine the things you're going to say in a year or two...
ct - you're still doing really well at school. your personality is sure coming out! today, when i picked you up, one of the teachers told me that you are one assertive little one year old! apparently, you kinda like your personal space and will let the other older kids know when they are getting too close :) i guess everyone in the room knows to give you some room! i love your spunk, your tough-girl attitude and the fact that you completely melt into my arms the next second. be tough out in the world, little girl.. and then be vulnerable in the safety of our home..
