Today she'd been quiet for a while, and when I found her, she was sitting in her rocking chair, reading (just reading) a time/money/fractions math workbook.
On Friday in the car, we were talking about carrier pigeons (because we had been laughing at a comic strip about how birds can't read), and she wanted to know how they know where to take their messages, because she knew about carrier pigeons from Curious George. I said that I didn't know, and maybe each bird only flew back and forth between two places. (Is that right? I never did look it up.) After several minutes of silence, she said, "Maybe each place you want to send a letter to could have a different colored pole outside, and you could put the color of the place you want to send it to on the envelope and you could teach the pigeons the color code!" I was very impressed.
She watched Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure, which I think must have something to do with a scepter? because she kept talking about making and delivering different kinds of scepters and then she drew the dress she was going to wear to do this, and it has symbols for every season on its train.
And also whatever this is... instructions for how to build a scepter?
This morning she planned a hike in the backyard because she wanted to show me what she thought was poison ivy (it wasn't), but then she planned out a whole thing with a map (which I suspect is modeled on something from Lumberjanes) and she packed snacks in her backpack and got a hat and everything.
And on Saturday we went and saw a replica Spanish galleon that was docked in town. We could go all over and see several decks below and they had a little thing where you could practice tying different kinds of knots (Lucy was already familiar with a few of them because of Lumberjanes) and we learned that the captain is a woman (which made Lucy very excited) and it was all around pretty cool.
Yes, Instructions For How To Build A Scepter Is Right. I Know.
