You can never imagine how big and complex the inner world of a three-year-old child is, even as a mom. Yesterday afternoon I went to 21 Nicole from her daycare center. On the way home, she looked 22 in the beginning, telling me about the daytime activities, while later when 23 and quiet came back to her, she looked tired.
After we 24 the bus, there was still another 15 minutes of climbing up along a hill to our
25 . She asked me where her daddy was. I told her that daddy was still working. She 26 the fact and sighed with" Okay…" ,somewhat 27 .

Sometimes she stepped 29 to the grassland and tried to kick off the snow 30 the bare grass could be seen. And she kept 31 all the way. Finally we arrived. All of a sudden she 32 tears and lost her temper outside the door. "Why are you crying so sadly? Tired? " The last sentence caused an even louder 33 , "Mommy can’t carry me! Mommy 34 ! Daddy carry me! Daddy…! "

I remembered that I couldn’t move at all when the 36 happened and this certainly scared her. After that I 37 long-term lower back pain till now and couldn’t carry her. It is 38 that she knows everything.
No 39 she asked me where her daddy was. That was why she kept silent all the way long but 40 lost control when arriving at home. Dear parents, do you still think that our children know nothing or few about our world?
