The signs you know your kiddos are getting older....

Makenna is one smart cookie. She is very aware of everything that is said and done by us and on tv. She is always asking me if things on movies are real....especially Harry Potter:) Since I am usually saying things aren't real since I can't get things done with the flick of my wand (unfortunately:), I don't think she was expecting me to say that what was on tv today was real. I was watching the memorial services for 9/11 and they kept showing the planes going into the buildings and the fires. Makenna was mesmerized by it (the first year that it has held her interest at all). I kept telling her to go play because I wanted to watch it but didn't want her to watch it but it was like she was rooted to the ground. She then asked me if it was real. Not wanting to lie, I told her that it was but it was a long time ago. That seemed to make her feel better but then she started worrying that we wouldn't ever be able to go back to New York because she loves New York. I reassured her that it was ok and that there was no problem in going back but then she got all excited thinking we were going to New York!! Love that girl! :)
