Nocturnal

Eliza has been quite adamant lately about being nocturnal.  She claims never to sleep at night, only during the day.  We have all been chuckling as our little nocturnal creature is almost always the 1st one asleep.  Here's to childhood dreams :)

HOME

Lucy is growing and her vocabulary is exploding.  Eliza is even trying to teach her to say DIPLODOCUS (one of her favorite dinosaurs).  Lucy makes a pretty good attempt and knows that it is a dinosaur.

I have been puzzled however, by her definition of the word "HOME."  At first it seemed obvious that she knew it was our house, as whenever we return from being out and about she says, "Made it home!" as we pull into the driveway.  The other night however, as I was putting her to bed early because she is giving up her nap, she cried and cried for HOME.  I was puzzled, but I knew she meant "Let me be with everyone else!"  Whenever the family is separated and we are reunited she sighs and says, HOME.

It is a great reminder to us that home is where we are!
