Seriously, what is up with these kids? T has been obsessed with death lately. The kodiak bear at the pittsburgh zoo died, and as fas as I can tell that's the inspiration for this line of thought, even though it was months ago.

She cried yesterday in the car because, "she's going to miss our house when she dies."
Then again, she also cried (again fake tears) because she misses Boo - draft horse at the philly zoo who is away for the winter AND the race horses - at DE Park, that she has never seen.
Thank goodness she is so far accepting of Amber's explanation that babies come out when mommy sneezes and that I haven't had to cover the mechanics of that one yet.
