A Glimpse Into Memories

January 12, 2009

Today's national blog post is about favorite memory games and activities with little kids. We haven't tried a whole lot yet -- someone gave her a memory card game for Christmas that we like, and she seems to ahve a fairly sharp memory.

But what I find particularly fascinating is what sticks in children's memories. Sometimes my daughter will come out with something and I am just amazed that she remembers it. For example, we were driving by the place where we had new brakes put on our car this summer and she said "Remember when we picke dup Daddy there? No idea who this had an effect on her, but she did. And her most talked about memeory of when her brother was born was not something like meeting him, or seeing me in the hospital -- no, it was when a nice nurse walked her down to the snack room and gave her graham crackers and juice.

So my own reflection today is this -- I am going to start paying more attention to what my kids seem to remember, and why, and most importanly ask them about it. It's just another way to get insight into what is going on in those fascinating little minds.
