But you're my mommy!







Last week, we took a trip to the Aquarium with Ana's best friend Gabby, to celebrate Ana's potty training successes. While there, we saw divers in the entryway aquarium scrubbing the plants and washing windows. This is the second time we've communicated with them through the glass and taken pictures, talking about their equipment and work. This visit I brought home a brochure to be a volunteer naturalist at the Aquarium.
Ana: What's this?
Me: I'm thinking about being a volunteer diver at the Aquarium. What do you think?
A: But you can't be a diver. You're my mommy!
M: I'll always be your mommy. That won't change. That's the most important thing I do.
Ana thinking, and studying my face.
**2 Days Pass**Today, we watched a PBS documentary about the cultivation of pearls. Divers were pulling up mollusks from the sea floor. 30 minutes later...

A (amazed): Mommy, divers are people!
A: (incredulous): Daddy, mommy's going to be a diver at the Aquarium!!
I wonder, what has she been thinking for 2 days? What do you think?
