The other day we were riding in the car and Jacob noticed the van's shadow on the road.
Jake: Wow, look how big and fat our shadow is!
Me: Yep, it's pretty big right now.
Jake: How come shadows are sometimes big and sometimes small?
Me: It has to do with what time it is. During different times in the day, shadows are bigger or smaller.
Greg: When the sun's low, then the van blocks more of it and the shadow is bigger. If the sun is up high, then it shines down on everything and the shadow is only under the van. Right now the sun is setting, so it's very low and the shadows are really big.
We were driving north.
Jake: Does the sun rise over there? (He pointed east.)
Greg: Yes.
Greg then decided to test him a little.
Greg: So, if the sun is rising, where is the shadow?
Jake: Over there (he pointed west).
I love how his little mind works. I love that he's so curious! I love that he wants detailed answers and he actually understands! It is so much fun to watch him learn.

This morning Sienna told me that 1 and 5 makes 6.
If I talked with her about things like this, I'm sure it wouldn't impress me nearly as much. But when she comes up with it all on her own...well, I think she must be brilliant! Lol. :)
