Elise started randomly crying one day because she didn't know what the inside of a throat looks like. Um, okay? So then we looked up diagrams on the internet of throats, then hearts, then brains. She has asked about what the inside of the body looks like repeatedly since. Future doctor maybe? She has the stamina for it.
We went to the library briefly today, and while we were there we asked the librarian in the kids' section to help us find books about the human body. Well, the librarian did even better than that. Our amazing public library has kits on all kinds of subjects. The one we checked out about the human body was a backpack with x-rays, books about the body, a game with body trivia (over our girls' heads still), and--our favorite part--this amazing apron thing. The organs velcro on. Elise thought it was the best thing ever and told me she was going to wear it always.
