Before I forget about this....
Lil'Bug and I went swimming last week. She experimented with floating, diving, and sounds under the water. Then we met friends on the kid gym equipment. Lil'Bug purposely jammed her finger into the treadmill gear to stop it a'la Brave Little Toaster because she wanted a turn and her friend didn't stop (didn't hear her ask or she didn't ask......). Yike. Her finger was purple for about a day but she's fine. Is it wrong for me to be impressed that she understood gears well enough to know that it would stop the machine?
Ok, now here's the treasure:
At dinner Dearest asked her about swimming and she told him about her sound experiments, specifically laughing under water. "What does it sound like?"
"Well, actually, it sounds like a sheep meowing."
Indeed.
I'm impressed not only at her understanding of mechanics but also at her problem solving skills but what touches me most is the sheep meowing......what a wonderful sense of reality!
