Bambino’s school just hosted a fascinating series of lectures by a neuropsychologist. I learned a lot. But, what resonated most was the statement above. The speaker provided evidence that children who are given experience-rich environments have clinically bigger, stronger brains.

Sometimes, I wonder if we do too much. Does Bimbo need more rest? More “kid stuff”? Answer– Nope. I’m going to stop worrying. I’m not going to lowest common denominator my son’s childhood. I will give him experiences that make him think, run, and marvel.

Here are a few of our greatest hits (from the last month or so).

We explored the public museum.

We baked.

We jammed.

We played.

We skated.

Winters can be tough here. I miss sunshine and temperatures above freezing. But, these days are still sweet. Stay warm, friends. Stay curious.
