Electricity.

Last night P woke up at 3am. Hes done that a lot lately. But not only is he waking, but his brain is in overdrive to the point that the poor boy isnt able to go to sleep for hours. Last night he finally nodded off in my arms snuggled in his bed at 515am. Thats not really the crazy part. Whats crazy is when we climbed into his bed after he came and got me in my room, he laid down and wanted to talk. About what you may ask- hes 2... So maybe cartoons? Bugs? Silly words? Nope. My 2 year old wanted to talk about  electricity. And how it works. How we pay for it. And how it is different from our water system which he remarked is from the water tower down the road. He said he knew electricity made our fans come on and refrigerator cold and our music and lights work . But HOW does its work and how do WE get it. And how is that different from the water that comes out of our sink from the tower?  Yep. This is our 3am, 2 yr old, convo.  Ive said hes smart before, but for real. Hes smart this guy. Tonight when i snuggled and sang to him at bedtime, he asked a new question that he hadnt touched on last night and i quote, " is there electricity on the interstate?"  Yep. I know. Crazy. He also made sure to cover these casual topics today while we played in the pool:

- dolphins, whales, their language and their use of sonar to communicate 

- kinetic energy ( thanks to uncle mikes lesson) 

- venus fly trap plants

- and if chipmunks are named that bc they eat chips. 

What can i say. This boy is awesomely awesome. 

Also awesome was this morning, though not the first time Ps come into our room on his own in the night/ morning, it WAS the first time he came in quietly without talking and crawled in next to me in bed (ben was already at work) and snuggled under the covers. Shortly after he began talking to me but not before sneaking in next to me :) he only recently began leaving his room instead of crying out for me, but this was a first :) it was so sweet!
