I am thankful for the chance to spend a day viewing the world through the eyes of my children. Today we took the kids to the Ontario Science Center. It is one of the boys favorite places to go. We have taken the boys at 10 plus times (they are 7 and 6 years old) so a reasonable number in their short lives. Yet every time we go they are thrilled and find new things to learn. Today Cameron and I argued over a display of the part of the brain, I said it was the cerebellum and he was saying it was the hippocampus. Turns out we were arguing different parts because of our perspectives but were both right about the name of what WE were looking at. As I stood there arguing with him (yes I was arguing with a 7 year old, it happens a lot around here) I was humored and thankful to have moments like that where I get so pulled into what they are doing that I become a part of it and not just a spectator. I am thankful to have spent a day not as a mom but as a part of my children’s day of learning, growth, exploration and fun.
