My smart Philadelphian girl

        Some funny and smart comments from my little girl. She is lately very much into jokes, and until now she was always telling me other kids' sillies. The other night, after we all had our tummies filled with watermelon she asks me: mommy, do you know why watermelon is an animal? I was of course confused, so she tells me it's a joke that she just thought about. Happy to hear the product of her cute little head, I encourage her to go on. And she tells me:
because it's "otter" and "melon". Get it? otter is the animal :))
This of course makes sense only for Philadelphia natives who pronounce water the same as otter, but I did laugh for quite a bit after she told me the joke.

On a different conversation, Catalina had a quite interesting question that I should have been able to reply to immediately, having a medical degree and all...She asked me: mommy, how come we have two eyes, see things with both eyes, but in the end we see only one thing and not two? Yes, after few minutes I got all the knowledge about optic fibers projecting in the same cortex area, but I have to say I was speechless for a while. Oh, well, I guess I just have to admit I have an incredibly smart daughter :)

And to finish in a playful way, these are her latest endeavors: lego after lego after lego:

We are also waiting very impatiently for nicer weather so we can have a tea small party in the park. Meanwhile, Catalina asked several times to draw with chalk. Since our neighbors are sort of the Grinch, we cannot do it in front of our house. So, we went to the park and my little one impressed us once again:

Such an amazing time in our lives. Waiting for Amelia, enjoying an absolutely lovely Catalina. Summer cannot come soon enough! 3 months with my two girls!!!
