Cloud Shapes

In the car on the way home from school today the mini said "Look Mommy!" and pointed out the window. I turned my head and she said, "There's a rhino!" A few seconds later she saw an elephant, then something else that I can't remember. What followed was a conversation about the different animals she saw, what they were thinking and doing and how cool they were. It was a wonderful 15 minutes. I didn't even know that she paid attention to the clouds in the sky! I think we've only looked at the clouds with her once before. I just assumed (yes, I know what that makes me) that she wasn't old enough to make those kinds of abstract connections. Now we have a new game for when the weather gets warmer and we can lay on our backs out in the yard. She just get more fun every day!
