Moon Obsession

How do you explain the phases of the moon to a 22 month old?

Calahan's interest in the moon is not fading. He has been disturbed this last week or so when the moon has been in the new moon phase and not visible. Every night he asks to go out and see the moon. If he doesn't see it, he shrugs his shoulders, sighs, and gets this really disappointed look on his face. The obsession doesn't end there. Without fail, if he hasn't seen the moon the night before, he asks about it first thing the next morning and insists that we go back outside to see if it has miraculously appeared. Fortunately, we were able to see a sliver of the moon tonight and Cal is resting peacefully!

He is not only so...cute but also pretty smart for a 22 month old. Isn't it fun to have a curious child around to point out the miracles around us. I love him and his eagerness to understand things.
Love to all
