Still no batteries for my camera. Using the backup phone camera again today.
This is a long clip. Meditative. There's something satisfying about watching my son play. He loses himself in the fun.
We made some paintings with left over fabric paints. The Little Bun loves the feel of paint in his hands and on his face. He'll squeeze his fists so tight that all of the paint oozes out onto his knuckles.
I had all sorts of plans to record something dealing with delayed gratification. Since my day started out mostly planned, I wasn't going to be able to do any sort of video taping until much later. An idea for another day.
This day the gratification was right there in front of me getting soaking wet. He was experimenting with paper and water and gravity and thermodynamics. Eventually he got cold and couldn't understand why. I told him that the wet takes heat away from us. After an infinite number of why questions we ended on "Because, it's an immutable law of the universe." And that is his notice that I can go no further.
It's actually comforting that there aren't answers for everything. That allows for mystery and magic. Where there's mystery and magic, there's discovery.
