going a hundred miles an hour (mind and body)

Curious George has been on the go, go, go. Daddy and I insist that he takes a nap because he becomes a holy terror without it, but it is getting harder and harder to get him to sleep. He doesn't fall asleep until 2:30 even if he goes down at 1pm in a dark room with nothing to do. So Daddy suggested we let him nap for only 45 minutes. Hopefully that is enough of a nap to prevent Mr. Hyde from making an appearance.

On an amusing note, he continues to make life revelation late at night just before falling asleep. The other night he talkedf to me about dying and how he doesn't want me or Daddy to die. And then he asked, "how do people die?" I told him that some people get sick, and others get too old and of course that again lead to the discussion of death. "I don't't want you to become an angel! I want you to stay normal!"

a long lost brother?

A few days ago, I took a nap with Curious George. When he woke up, he sat up on the bed and started talking to me.

CG: A long time ago, I had a baby brother.

Me: Huh?

CG: I had a baby brother and he was this small (gesturing with his hands) and I love him.

Me: Matty, you don't have a brother.

CG: I do, a long time ago! And he was small and then he died. (sad face) And he turned into...um.. what do you call it again?

Me: An angel?

CG: Oh yeah! My little brother died and became angel and I never saw him again. Ever.

Me: Matty, you don't have a brother. You only have sisters.

CG: I do! He's turns into an angel with my grandfathers and now he's watching over you!


I don't know about you, but now I'm scared.
