Where’s the Sun, Daddy?

A memory from last week or so. There was a light drizzle and the sky was darker. Elliot asked, “Where’s the sun, daddy?” I said it is behind the clouds. When the rain clouds move, we’ll see it again.

We were up early yesterday morning. The sun was just coming up. Elliot wanted to see the sunrise, like the day before when we had watched it.

There were a lot of clouds, but we could see the sky through patches. Elliot pointed at the patches of sky and said, “That’s for the satellites”. He was referring to a time a few weeks ago when we went outside to watch the ISS overhead, but there were too many clouds in the sky. We couldn’t see it through the clouds, and I explained to him why.

I love when this happens. It shows that he listens, remembers, and reapplies his learning to new events. It’s wonderful to witness!
