Yesterday I was about to toss an old phone book into the recycle bin when I thought I’d have a little fun with McKenna. I showed her the thick book and asked her if she thought she could rip it in half. Wide-eyed, she said she couldn’t, but when I asked her if she wanted to try anyway she decided to give it a go. She spent only a second or two trying to do it the “strong man” way (ripping through all the pages), and then proceeded to open the book to the center pages and tear it down the length of the spine. 😯

Needless to say that’s the way I was planning to do it once she’d given up on doing it the “normal” way. How cool is that? Gotta love the way a 4 1/2 year old’s mind works. Amazing… 😀
