Sadly, another placeholder. Recent entertainment from my almost-four-year-old.

"Little kids don't understand grownups."
- Said after Laura tried explaining her side of a dispute she had with Piper

Piper has gotten very used to TiVo. Though she doesn't use the remote yet (her 10-month-old sister seems to be the more button-gifted of the two), she still knows that if she sees a commercial she likes (she calls them "movies"), she can ask us to rewind it ... as many times as we can stand.
The other night, Laura came into the room, and Piper announced that there was a commercial she had seen earlier that she wanted to go back and watch again. Laura rewound the TiVo, and as each commercial flew by, Piper waved them off, looking for the right one. It was not to be found.
"I guess it fell off the buffer," Piper said. And Laura's jaw dropped.
We've laughed about her ability to toss off tech talk so easilly many times. Like all three-year-olds, she's paying very close attention.

Piper told Laura that a boy at school has been scaring her with dinosaur puppets.
Laura: "You don't have to worry about dinosaurs. They're all gone now."
Piper: "What happened to them?"
Laura: "Nobody knows for sure."
Piper: (After a few moments of thinking) "Maybe a wizard turned the dinosaurs into frogs."
Laura: "Maybe."
You know what? I like this explanation more than that big ol' meteor theory.
