Questions

Holly asks lots of questions. Sweet, innocent, sometimes touching, sometimes hard to answer, usually bringing a smile to my face.  I decided to write them down for a week, and here's (some of) what I got:

Why are mummies allowed to wear high heel shoes out and kids aren't?
Why are there always flowers on that pole? (beside the road)
Does God still love us? (When talking about the things we do wrong)
Why are the clouds dark when it rains?
Mummy when will you die?
How do you make pens?
(To a pregnant friend) What does it feel like to have a baby in your tummy?
Why did dinosaurs live before people?
Are there any people already in heaven?
How do the street lights turn on?

Zac growing up

Lately I've noticed a few things in Zac which have reminded me that he's really growing up and getting smarter.  I think sometimes I tend to miss these things a bit, probably because they don't seem so remarkable as I've already seen them before in Holly.  But he's a different child and he's younger and I want to make more of an effort to consciously notice them

One of them is that he's started noticing when words rhyme with one another, and making up nonsense words to rhyme with a certain word.

Another, when I told him something interesting the other day he said "fancy that"!!
