I know I've been writing a lot about Syd lately. She's just at this great age where her mind and mouth meet and explode with crazy and mostly sweet questions and stories.
Tonight it all started with her brain.
"How does your brain live ?" was the question I believe she asked.
It then went to :
- how does blood get into your brain ?
- what are eyeballs made of ? (I answered tissue...seriously..what are eyeballs made of ? The tissue answer made her giggle :)
- how does oxygen get in your blood ?
- is blood everywhere in your body ?
- how do the white and red blood cells work ?
- how do the white blood cells build walls to keep the bugs out ?
- can other things get into your cuts ? like maggots ? like the maggots in the fish at the lake ? eeeewww.
- what happens to our bodies when we die ?
- like the glass one that sleeping beauty is in ?
- we go in the ground ?
(these conversations are difficult because I have to keep them age appropriate)
Which lead us to spirits and heaven and Heavenly Father.
Syd : "Can we see heavenly father ?"
Me : "No, but we can talk to him whenever we want. Anytime you want to talk to him you just say a prayer. That's where prayers go...to Heavenly Father."
Syd : "But can I see him."
Me : "no, but you can feel him. when your heart feels warm and you feel happy and full of love...that's heavenly father."
Syd : "My heart feels that way right now. It's this big (arms extended out) bigger than the grinch's."
I am going to keep documenting these stories...one day she'll be able to read them and hopefully they'll make her smile as big as they make me.
