It's 1am and I'm not very coherant at the moment, nor am I very alert! But before I head to bed, I wanted to post a little something.
Just thinking and observing today how much life can change in only 5 years! Spring of 2004, you were a little babe, just learning how to sit up... I'd take you out to the garden with me to weed or plant. You'd sit beside me and smell the flowers... I was still getting adjusted to life with another little soul and you wouldn't sit for long, but still, very different than now!
You are such an amazing little boy Alexander, ... and I love the things your mind thinks of. There are so many topics you've broached in the past few weeks that boggle my mind when I consider your age.
At five years of age, here are some random matters we've talked of lately:
World War II and the Blitzkreig of London
Torture and Interrogation (Because of things heard on NPR)
Time travel and altering the past... I knew the point was driven home when you said "so if Mom died and I went back in time to save her, it would change the present and things would be different, like maybe Tennyson wouldn't exist!"
Rainbows and lightning storms and how lightning occurs
Counting everything, the concept of a dollar (and the fact that mom just spent 700 of them on a shed of all things! Crazy mothers! ;) )
Reading has just taken off for you, ... you sat down and wrote out a whole story the other day and most of the spelling was correct! You are no longer complaining about reading lessons too much and you are getting very excited about starting school in the fall.
Oh, there is your brother waking up, ... I must go. I love being your mom, Xander, and sharing this experience of "life" with you! ...It's a gift I will always treasure.
