		<description>We moved from a big space to a small space, and honestly, I prefer the small space.  It&#039;s nicer, it&#039;s cozier (not cheaper alas, because we moved from Washington to California), and my son felt it was an adventure.  Kids don&#039;t really notice the hassle of moving, in my experience.  They just think, new place, YAYZ!  Wish I had that kind of attitude.</description>

		<description>I know this isn&#039;t the &quot;Ask Me Anything&quot; Blog, but I had been wondering about your move, and why you are moving. And also, you hadn&#039;t mentioned much about your mom and sister moving in with you, and what it was like getting used to that. I&#039;m looking forward to hearing more about that.</description>

		<description>&quot;My parents just kept popping them out and somewhere between To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men, I’d look up to find a new baby sister.&quot;

Brilliant.

I think that perhaps the difference is that the only thing you could count on as a child was change, whereas she&#039;s ways been able to count on the consistency of everything being the same. I think both have their virtues, surely.

Are you going to do a Lost predictions blog this season, before it&#039;s over? Not like, the recaps, if I watch it I don&#039;t need that so much as I want to hear what YOU think of what&#039;s happened and might happen at the end.</description>

		<description>Yes. Any bad feelings I had about moving (more on that later this week) I had to keep to myself. In front of Kali, we treat it like an adventure. But we&#039;re also honest. 

&quot;Why are we moving?&quot;

&quot;Because this house just become too expensive for us and we like being able to feed you.&quot;

It doesn&#039;t hurt that the new place is really close and absolutely beautiful. We&#039;re &quot;downgrading&quot; in terms of space and cost, but we didn&#039;t want it to seem like we were moving them some place less nice or comfortable... if that makes sense.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s okay. 

I don&#039;t remember if I realized it at the time, or gave it much thought, but thinking back now... yeah, we moved a lot. I&#039;m REALLY bad at remembering how old I was during certain events. Like, I can remember the different apartments, but I get fuzzy on the order and how old I was at the time. 

She believed in Santa until a few years ago. It wasn&#039;t anything dramatic when she didn&#039;t. It was more like, one day she did and then she didn&#039;t. That said, she has an active imagination. She likes to write stories (we know where she gets that from) and loves thinking about possibilities. She&#039;s big on &quot;what if?&quot; One of many things I love about her.</description>

		<description>Not to get too into it, but how stable was your childhood? Did you move a lot when you were little? Did you move at all? Is this the first time you&#039;ve moved with your daughter? (it feels disrespectful, as a stranger, to call a kid by their name. Is that weird?) Environmental factors are huge in the development of a child&#039;s psyche. It&#039;s likely she&#039;s formed her opinions on the finite through her own experience with boundaries: &quot;I&#039;ve never seen it, it isn&#039;t there&quot;, &quot;The world must be flat because I can&#039;t see beyond the horizon&quot;, et al. Does she believe in Santa Claus? How broad is her imagination? It&#039;s fascinating to think of these things and the more varying things she&#039;s exposed to, the more I&#039;d imagine she&#039;ll think of everything in a different shade of awareness.

Or I could just be talking out of my ass. It&#039;s cool that she&#039;s already approaching life with the aspect of possibility.

(also, you don&#039;t have to answer those questions I posed if you&#039;d rather not. It was more-or-less a facetious stream of conscious)</description>
