I can see for miles

This morning, Z woke me up by cuddling up next to me and asking "remember the big buildings around the place where I got the big bat?" The day before, we went to Taste of Cleveland, a downtown festival where a former client of mine, who runs the event, treated Z to any prize he wanted. It turned out to be a blow-up bat as tall as daddy. Hmmm.

I said "yeah, you mean all the buildings downtown?" "Yes," he said. "If we climbed all the way to the top of them, could we see grandma and papa's house?" so cute. They live in Cincinnati. "No, sweetie, they're too far away." "What if we climbed up the Eiffel Tower?" "Still don't think so," I said. "What about the tallest building in the whole world, one that goes all the way up to the moon?" "I don't think there is a building that tall, buddy. You could see their house if you were in a plane, maybe."

Love these observations as Z tries to understand distance and spatial differences.
