I really enjoy spending time with P. I love hearing her observations of the world around her.
After our recent rain the weather has been cooler and crispier. The mosquitoes have even been taking the days off.
Yesterday, P and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon outside. We took the picnic blanket, a stack of books, the baby doll, some knitting, the camera, cups of water - you know, the essentials- out in the yard.
There we were, lying under the edge of the plum tree looking up into fluffy white clouds on a sea of deep blue. It was beautiful.
P said, "We are like a couple of raisins on the bottom of a cup."
What?
She went on to explain that the air was the cocoa and the clouds were the whipped cream on top.
Yeah, it was just like that, a beautiful relaxing afternoon outside.
We stayed out until the mosquitoes started to find us.
While scratching the latest bites she said, "Putting bug stick (liquid antihistamine) on bites is a good thing to do... unless they are bites from a crocodile or something like that."
Yes, she is a very wise child.
Do you have any good childhood wisdom to share?
In the mean time, I hope you feel like a happy raisin in the bottom of a cup.
