Making A Splash



















For a while now, The Peanut has been semi-obsessed with all things ocean.  But especially dolphins.

After seeing Dolphin Tale twice now, the love of dolphins has ratcheted up to a full bore obsession, and she is now discussing a desire to become a marine biologist on a daily basis.  We've spent time researching everything there is to know about dolphins on various science websites, in library books, and magazines.  We've watched countless documentaries on netflix the last couple of weeks.

It's fun to learn new things.  And it is even more fun, as a parent, to watch your child love to learn something like this.

Last night, as we were cuddled together watching a documentary after dinner, I was thinking that life is really, really sweet for us at the moment.   Just had to share my momma smile this morning.


But it will be even more so when she finds out we are planning a side trip to Sea World in Orlando during our Disney vacation in January, complete with some up close and personal time with real live dolphins while we are there. 

Yay mom and her obsessive vacation planning research skillz!
