Deep Thinker

Last week Mica was asking about gravity. He just couldn't understand why we don't walk sideways. Looking at the globe, it's only logical to our 7 year old that we'd walk along it and everyone would be sideways.

This week he came in our room and said, "I'm deeply concerned about the ice melting too fast in Antarctica! Where will the penguins live if all the ice caps melt?"

Daddy told him, "Yes ice is melting, but it's no where near being all gone."


Here's a penguin that Mica made around Christmas time.  They studied different types of penguins in school.
It reads:

Penguins, 

Penguins, 

Penguins

Black White Furry

Penguins,

Penguins, 

Penguins

Emperor Little Blue

Macaroni 

They toboggan to get 

Out of the water.

He's a deep thinker. I see a lot of conversations in our future.

Packing to Go Nowhere Again

Isaak likes to pack! He started packing when he was really little. You can see him with all his hats and a couple bags stuffed full of toys here. I have empty boxes for Isaak to stuff full of whatever he wants.

The other evening when I went to go pick up Isaak from Grandma and Grandpa's; I found a box by his bag. Inside was a stuffed dog.

This morning I found this box in our living room:

The contents inside look like this:

Fake plastic chips, fake plastic babies, fake beads, a plastic Easter egg, "MikerDonalds" money, a fake credit card and a little set of penguins made by Schleich.

A Herve of Penguins

• Mica told me tonight that he wants me to take him to the zoo next weekend, so that he can see a herve of penguins.
• Daddy and I were both like, "A herve?!"
• I realized that he was trying to say, "A herd of penguins."
• Daddy said, "Mica a whole bunch of penguins are a flock, not a herd. Just like a bunch of fish are a school of fish. A bunch of cows are a heard."
• As it turns out they are both wrong. Many penguins are a colony. I had to look it up.
