So Rebecca came running in yesterday asking this question...and I quote...
"Um, Mommy, why does the sun go down?" My answer was, "Well baby thats how we know it's time for us to get ready for bed." (Wishful thinking huh?). Well then she didn't like that answer I guess and she went to her dad...and I quote..."Um, Daddy, why does the sun go down?". His answer, (remember this is my smart husband who wants her to know the real reason the sun goes down), "Because the earth turns and as it turns sometimes we're on the sunny side and sometimes we're on the dark side". This is Rebecca's look on her face-??????????????. You can see it. Great intentions Dad, but maybe you should draw her a picture! So he whips out the paper and starts drawing the sun and the earth, and all Rebecca is interested in is making sure the circles have eyes, noses and mouths! I LOVE THIS AGE!!!!! It's going to be fun!

That's awesome.. so cute :-) I know these questions are so fun sometimes. When Faith asked us why gets dark -- we told her that when the sun goes away, it gets dark. Then of course she went on to ask why the sun goes away.. and we told her "because it needs to go to sleep too!" :-) Gosh, school will teach her the truth when she really needs to know it right? ;-)
We do have a children's picture encyclopedia that she likes to look through sometimes and we get serious about answers when we sit down with that. So she knows about the skeleton, bones, and what happens if it breaks, etc. that part interested her the most so far.
Great answers you guys! Men are so analytical aren't they? But the questions will never stop until she's a teen and knows it all and you don't know anything. HA!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Typical Daddy! They always want to give the "right" answer, don't they?! :)
