Yesterday afternoon, I read a book about bugs to Dominic while Allison was napping. The book talked about all different bugs and their importance in this world. After I was done reading, Dom always asks questions about the story/information. He asked me: How does the caterpillar become a butterfly? I said it kind of went into a sleeping bag and when it woke up it turned into a butterfly. He looked confused. I tried again by explaining that remember when Alli was in my belly and then she came out a baby?...kind of like that. His look then changed into total comprehension followed by this statement: 'Oh you mean a CHRYSALIS? Why didn't you just say that Mom?!'
What the heck?!? What 4 year old knows the world Chrysalis? I am thinking of asking him today if he knows the process is called Metamorphosis... He will probably look at me like I am dumb because he probably already knows it!

Okay - that is so funny! Just today I got in the car, and Lucy said, "Can you say "metamorphosis?'" I laughed and said, "metamorphosis." Then she said, "Can you say 'chrysalis?'" I know where she's getting it from, though. There's a Little Einstein movie called "Our Huge Adventure" about a caterpillar who turns into a butterfly. Who said TV wasn't good for kids?!
That is the same show Dom got it from! We own it! TV is wonderful if it is the right TV show...we watch a lot of PBS in our house too.
