Sweet Son's current
obsession interest is power lines. He loves
seeing how they are attached to poles and what they are connected to
(lights, other poles, etc). A few days ago he ask why our neighborhood
doesn't have any, after all we do have lights. I explained they are
buried under the ground here. He seemed fine with that. Today we were
driving past some large power lines. He ask why our power
lines are under the grass. I said that it's safer. He ask why these
(pointing outside the car) aren't under the dirt. I said it's cheaper to
put them up than to bury them. He paused for a few minutes and just
when I thought the conversation must be over, he said, "How much
cheaper? It must be a lot in order for them not to want to be safe." I
love that connection. It must cost a lot more in order for them to want
to sacrifice safety. I did explain that these are still safe, just not
as safe. I explained lines breaking and weather problems that can make
them not AS safe, but that they are not something we need to be afraid
of.
Everything is wrapping up for the school year. Their school only has one week left. I am so happy to have more time to
spend with the kids. I hate spending hours every day driving them
to/from places.
Sweet Daughter is doing great. She's slowly starting to learn that she isn't in
charge of the world. It's a difficult lesson to teach when almost
everyone does whatever she demands without question. I don't care how
cute she is, she is 3 and doesn't get to make the rules. She has
recently decided she likes playing the piano - to a point. She still
tells me she's going to switch instruments when she turns 6. I think
that's probably a good choice. I could see her being more into musical
theater. She needs something dramatic. haha
