The "What If" Adventures!!!

I wonder what goes on in little Kaden's head sometimes....how does he see things?  Or, I guess I should say how does he interpret things?  I say one thing to him and he processes it differently then I do, comes up with a blank stare and goes about his business.  Is he being rude or disrespectful?
No, he just listened, computed it in his mind and decided by his "own" scale whether it was worthy of a response or not.  How does he determine, what are his guidelines?
I'm thinking of this today because Kaden has an unusual fixation about death, numbers, organization/rules and all questions that begin with what if.  No matter what I reply he will always say, well what if this or what if that.
You can always count on Kaden for an extended conversation about whatever is on his mind at the time.  That's my Boy!!!! Everyday I learn more and more from him.
Yesterday he learned about the Hubble, Copernicus and NASA.  He soaked it all in and into the wee hours of the night he was still talking about them, mulling over possibilities for the future and mistakes from the past.  A lot going on in a 5 year old mind.....especially when it's after midnight!  LOL
I want to know what his future will be like sooooo bad, I wonder who he will become and what great things he will accomplish.  What will he fight for and how will he work his way through struggles he will be sure to have.  While I try to drift off to sleep at night I have to wash all those thoughts away and focus on the here and now.  One day at a time, because I know from the previous two kids that life goes so quick.  I don't want to miss one single opportunity to watch him grow and discover this world around him.  We will take it one fact at a time, one adventure after another.  I will remain in the now and take every day as it is, "what if" questions and all!!!!
