Best Friend or Not

22/03/2010

When we woke up in the morning last saturday, Casey seemed to be in a very good mood. I wondered if there was anything to do with the weekend. She knew she didn't have to hurry for her breakfast or anything else. She could just sit back and relax.

While we were sitting down on the sofa during breakfast, Casey said that she was my best friend. Mummy was really happy and felt loved by her little girl. Whilst I was still enjoying the special bond and giving her a big hug, Casey told me to get back to my place. My world just crumbled around me. Back to reality......

Belonging With

Mummy was doing some fun games in an exercise book with Casey the other day. We were asked to find out what subject belong with the one in question. Bless her, Casey did really well but one(?!). A seal was perching on a stand and we had to decide whether it would belong with a chair or the sea. She picked the chair and said when it gets tired the seal can then sit on it. I didn't know what to say. It was perfectly logical with her way of thinking and explanation.

I just like how children's mind work. There is often no perception of any kind, simple, innocent and straight forward. I also sometimes adore they speak their mind. How better it would be if adults would do the same.
