Thoughts From a 2 Year Old

Dawson is fascinated with the sun and the moon. He realizes that the sun is out during the day and the moon is visible at night. He's also discovered that sometimes you can see the sun during the day. He's very excited on those mornings when he can see both the sun and the moon in the sky. Here are a few comments he has made when referring to the sun and the moon.

• Where's my sun? (He says this when he wakes up in the morning, which is well before the sun rises.)
• I can't touch the sun, it's too hot. But the moon is cool. I can touch the moon.
• Look, Mom, the sun is following us.
• Hi, sun. Mom, say hi sun.
• The sun is going to sleep. (He says this in the evening when the sun is setting.)
• We have to get the moon. We need something . . . . a hot air balloon. We'll go up, up, up to the moon.
