A lesson learned

The other day, K, baby L, and I were outside playing in the yard while we were waiting for their daddy to come home. It was a beautiful day and I was hanging out with baby L while K ran his dump truck up the trees. As a homeschooler, I saw a perfect opportunity to talk about gravity and it's effects. So, we did. It was a short lesson, but an imprint and a beginning.

We talked about why his dump truck falls down to the ground when he drives up a tree and lets go. Not really knowing if he understood or really cared, he went off to run his dump trucks over hills. A little while later he asked me, "Mom, why does my dump truck go on it's side when I drive?" I replied, "because you're driving silly." To which K replied, "No..., it's because I'm not driving correctly."

Of course! What was I thinking? Silly me!
