More (or sometimes less)

Some days, do more. Some days, do less.

Try not to worry. The worried days aren't the best days.

Exploration

Wander. Explore. Investigate.

Explore art, form, shadows.

Explore stories, ideas, words.

The first time I made pancakes with white flour he thought they were the best pancakes he'd ever eaten.

Here's an interesting tidbit, though: after a few weeks of being allowed to have all the cakes and cokes he could eat at our house he out-and-out said "You know what, now that I can have all the sugar I want, I don't want nearly as much of it."
