A few months ago, we were painting our bedroom, so we had the curtains off the windows. One morning Elle was sitting on the bed watching TV and she yelled across the hall to me "Look Mom, there's a penguin on the window!". I kind of laughed and went back to what I was doing. She said it a couple more times. Then Wade walked in the room and she told him about the penguin and he laughed and called me into the room. And sure enough, there was a penguin on the window, actually the wall right next to the window. The shade was off our lamp and the way the light was cast on the wall, it made a shadow that looked just like the profile of a penguin.
A few weeks later she and I were walking through a parking lot to our car and she looked up at the sky and said "Look, a horse!" And when I looked up, right above our heads was a huge cloud that looked like an upside down horse.
Amazing little mind, really. I'd like to see the world through her eyes just for one day.
