Tell me about today...

Nick has started to reminisce. Especially when he’s had an excited day and not the typical – breakfast, school, dinner, play, bed. “Tell me about today” he’ll say and then we go through everything that happened that day. “Dad dropped you off at school. You had a nap. Mom picked you up. We met Lewis at the ice cream social. You came home and were tired & grumpy and didn’t want to go to bed. Now we’re all relaxed and ready for a good night’s sleep” or “You were on the dock and jumped into dad’s kayak, but you bounced off it, went under the dock where bubbles came out of your mouth. Then Dad saved you and you were very brave”. He’ll chime in and add his own sections (“I swam!”) or correct our recollections (“we didn’t see the Batman movie!”). It’s just fun to see his little memory at work. See how that mind is working, thinking, processing everything at the end of a long day. So much to take in!
