In Declan's Eyes

We made the long drive back from Ottawa today with a little visit through Carleton Place so Daddy could reminisce. Declan was tired and needed a little sleep along the way but there were a few sweet times where I was treated to the view out the window through Declan's eyes.

We were stopped for some construction on highway 15. There were two very large old trees with purple/red leaves on the right side of the road. I hear Declan saying "They're bee-ewe-tah-ful Mommy. The trees are bee-ewe-tah-ful." He was right though I'm certain to have missed them if he hadn't pointed them out.

Then later along the 401 the blue sky was full of clouds. Declan tells me he sees a "ladder" (and it did look like a long ladder), an "elephant" and a "hippo". I've shared the sight of clouds with Declan before but I think this is the first time I've experienced his seeing things in the clouds before. So cool.
