Deeba and I were talking this mornings, as she was watching an episode of “Little Einsteins”, which talked about Leonardo Da Vinci:
– Deeba, do you know that Da Vinci was a great artist and a genius scientist?
– Is he dead now?
– Yes. He died many years ago.
– Ok, no worries mom. I will fill in for him.

At least we know, there is no issue with your self confidence.

I take you to the library once a week. There, I let you choose the books to borrow. You ALWAYS amaze me by your choice of books. You picked the following books this week:

– Thunder Underground by Jane Yolen – It is a book of poems, definitely not for your age. But you LOVE them. You ask us to read them to you again and again.

–  Guinness World Records: Remarkable Robots. (for ages 4 to 8)

– Guinness World Records: Wacky Wheels (for ages 4 to 8)

– Weird but true: Know it all U.S. Presidents by Brianna Dumont

You said that you wanted to make a playmate robot! and you said that because you are the fastest runner, your name should go in the Guinness book of records!

I am so thankful for having you as my child. I wish you a lifetime of happiness, health and success.

 

You: mommy, may I have your earrings after you die?

Me: Yes. Sure you may!

You: I hope that daddy won’t die!

Dad: I hope that the three of us won’t die.

You: Are you kidding? I am not even close to dying!!!

I am really happy that you are so comfortable with the concept of death. That is the only thing that will for sure happen to ALL living things, including us and our loved ones. Better to be in peace with this truth than nervous and fearful.

Gosh, you are talkative.

You are adorable.
