Eliza's litle mind

I often wonder what's going on in that little brain of hers. Much more than I would think possible for a 3 year old, I'm sure. Below is a picture she drew that she says is Daddy climbing a hill, with her and Mommy holding Davis's hands so he can walk. A metaphor perhaps for her view of life--Daddy leading the way through the uphill journey through life, with Mommy as a helper??


Nah, it's probably just something she saw on Dora.


What was going through her mind during this recent exchange?

Eliza: "Mommy, I want a baby sister."
Me: "Sorry, sweetie, we're not having any more babies. Our family is complete."
Eliza: "Well, maybe we can give Davis away and get a girl."
Me: "But who would we give Davis to?"
Eliza: (after a minute of deep thought) "How about the popsicle man?" (the ice cream truck has been making the rounds through our neighborhood)

I've laughed over this for days:
After I put on a new pair of plaid bermuda shorts, Eliza looks at me quizzically and asks,
"Mommy, why are you wearing Daddy's underpants?"
