Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Time is tough. Tough for a three year old, that is. I remember obsessing a lot about tomorrow, and how when it arrived, it would be today. And that was just plain weird. Olivia, for the last several months, has asked like clockwork every morning: "Is the sun coming up?" And I have answered, "Yes, it's going to travel across the sky all day long." Every evening as the sky darkens she asks, "Is the sun going down now?" "Yes, the sun is going down, nighttime is starting." That's when she gets miffed. "You SAID the sun was coming UP!!" (Again, this conversation happens EVERY DAY.) Thus ensues the litany: "Yes, the sun came up in the morning, but then it traveled through the sky all day long, and now it's going down to shine on the other side of the world."
