Yesterday--in case you were under a rock somewhere and didn't know it--was good ol' Groundhog day. Annie came home from school with a groundhog craft that moved up and down. I asked her if the groundhog saw his shadow and she said "Yes. That means we have 7 more years of winter!" I told her no it was 6 weeks not years, thank goodness. She just said--"Oops, I forgot!" Then she went on to ask if she could go see the real groundhog next year because she has never seen a groundhog in real life and really wants to pet one. I told her they were a little bit like squirrels, but then she told me she had never seen a real squirrel and wants to pet one of them too. In fact, now she says she would really like a pet squirrel!
Ah my little animal lover! BTW she also says she can talk dog language to Cleo (our golden retriever) and Cleo talks back. Six is such a cute age!
