I began drinking coffee (decaf) again this week, something I abstained from while pregnant.  This morning while I was happily making it, Aidan wanted to “see,” as he says.  He often wants me to pick him up so that he can see what’s on the kitchen counter, whether it’s something brewing on the stove or a bug on the windowsill.  This morning it was my coffeepot.  So I gathered him up and showed him how I put the ground coffee in the basket and where I poured the water.  Then I put him down and turned it on.  He stood there and watched, and as the coffee began to percolate and drip into the carafe, he cried out, “It’s raining!”

    I love how kids think.
