Crawford, Jane Clare and I spend a lot of time in the car going to swim lessons, tennis camp, speech and occupational therapy, karate camp, school, the park and who knows where else! There's not much singing and dancing going on in this car, mainly just talking. I am amazed daily at Crawford's brain and the number of questions it can produce; I barely have time to answer (or try to answer) one before it's on to a new one! My brain and ears are exhausted but I sure love listening to him learn about this big world around him!
Here's what I answered this morning during about a two mile drive:
When can we go in the swamp?
Why do we need the right kind of boat to go in the swamp?
What does beautiful mean?
Is John's the longest neighborhood you know?
How do roller coasters go really fast?
How fast does Poppie's little car go? Like 180?
When can we get a four door jeep?
Did you see that tractor on the road? That's crazy!!
Can you go one mile per hour?
Is anybody behind us?
I'm bigger than that kid, right? How old does he look?
Why is there a bench there? Why is there only one?
Can we hang out here for a bit?
When does Jane Clare...trails off
Is that lipstick or pink paint on your lips?
Phew!! As exhausting as it can be I love that he want's to know EVERYTHING he possibly can. I pray daily that his teacher this year will have the patience and stamina to continually nourish his little mind! Never change, little boy!!
