What???

I was at the mall with Nora and Miles last week (I haven't been to the mall in a looong time - with 3 kids it is just asking for trouble. With Sophie in school I decided to give it a try. It went pretty well with Miles and Nora firmly buckled in the stroller and snacks in hand!) Nora decided she wanted to walk for a minute so I let her out and I watched her walk slowly up to a mannequin and look up at it with huge eyes. She was totally in awe. Then she slowly reached out and touched it. It was pretty funny to watch - it was like she'd never seen one before and was so confused about it. As we were making our way out of the store she said to me, "Mom - I think those are people who have died and that's their bones!" No wonder she looked confused! (I told her they were just plastic!)
