Every day this summer has been filled from morning to afternoon with doing things and seeing people. Exhausting? yes. Fun? an even bigger yes. Last week was Living History Farms and visiting friends and of course Nana. Today we saw cousins and a magician at the library. I'm longing for a day where we just stay home and hang out and get dirty in the back yard. The curious nature of these two is astounding to me to watch-at home or away in an organized event. They want to learn, want to practice, want to ask questions and constantly figure things out. They WANT to move their bodies in new and interesting ways. Just got me to philosophizing a bit about where this goes. I long to sit on the couch and relax-they long to jump off the couch or do standing push ups on the side of the couch. They are seeing and experiencing brand new things every day and they take it in like crazy absorbent sponges. Staying home or going out. It's really fascinating as an educator(former?) to see this all first hand. Beyond a doubt they have made me appreciate the world a little more and want to experience and try new things. Still enjoy relaxing on the couch whenever I can though!
