Prepare to be amazed

In a previous post I wrote a bit about magic and why it's so memorable. To adults, magic is memorable because it doesn't make sense according to our understanding of the world. Now think about a baby who understands even less about the world.

I also mentioned how important it is to be positive since everything is new and amazing to them, and they copy things that you do.

We teach them new things but there can be unintended consequences. For example, grandma wanted to teach Jasmine to kick a ball. Jasmine, of course, was amazed. She went around kicking everything.

To Jasmine: always look at things with awe and seek to learn about everything you can. We will teach you when we can, and learn together for the things we can't.
