I declared today Ethan Day. (Emily's was on Wednesday, don't get nervous.) It's part of the letter of the day for the summer...when we get to "E" they each get their own day. We had Chick Fil A for breakfast. His very first tooth fell out...good timing on that one. Then we headed to the Science Center where we played for hours. I am pretty sure that I watched their little brains grow today right in front of my very eyes. They explored, tested, played and experimented. He now knows that he can lift 120 lbs if he uses the pulley system farthest away from the weight source. He can rock a complicated little puzzle. He can design and make bowls with a vacuum system...you get the idea. We rounded out the day with a nasty dinner at a place I don't do too often... but let's just say he had two different play places in one day. It was his day and I can't argue with a boy's wishes. We will return to sanity and the letter F next week. My final thought comes from the man himself...
"I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do."
I've been wanting to take the kids there (DaVinci Museum). Seems like it was worth it. How long did it take to get there? Sounds like we did something similar in Florida called the G-Wiz Museum.
