Science Lesson

We have been trying to go to the library more often. On our most recent trip, Elena picked out a book on bones (among other interesting books). Reading this with her has led to a discussion of how the brain is protected by the skull and the spinal cord is protected by the spine, but what Elena seems to have latched on to the most today is how the brain sends messages to her body through her spinal cord. Now, every few minutes, she'll say, "I just moved my leg again! My brain sent a message telling my leg to move!" like this is the most miraculous thing. Which, I suppose, it is.
