Sunrise, Sunset

Jake loves the sunrise and sunset. One of the things we do every morning when we get in the car is talk about what kind of day it's going to be--cloudy, sunny, cold, rainy, etc. Because the days are getting shorter (and we leave the house at 7 am) the sun is usually just rising as we leave.

He loves to talk about the colors and point it out to me, especially at the part of our commute when we come up over a hill and you can really see the skyline. "Oh! It so beautiful! Look at the pretty colors, Mommy!"

He used to say, "It's sunset, Mommy!" I explained the difference between sunrise and sunset, so I think he understands now. The other day, he slipped and said "sunset" when he meant "sunrise" and I gently corrected him. "Okay, but it beautiful!" Well, true. It is beautiful no matter what you call it...
