The Payoff of Determination - A Child's Lesson

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

 

Can you guess what our three-and-a-half year old granddaughter is doing in this photo? She's working very hard. We spent a morning at the Children's Museum on a recent visit to Denver last month. Needless to say, we all kept busy, especially little Rae Rae. At the end of this very short video, you'll see what all of her effort was for - and like most efforts, the results are worth it!

How precious is that, such a beautiful little girl.  I can tell that she is having a lot of fun, as I am sure you were too!

Sharon, it was a blast. She actually loved the water works section the most. Got all wet to prove it. Lol. 

Sally - oh yes, she is determined in many ways. Ha.

She is adorable.  The museum sounds like a lot of fun for the youngsters, parents and grandparents in the area.

Sooo cute, Debb! I've always loved the single-minded determination of little kids. I bet she's still talking about this museum visit.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - Oh what a beautiful granddaughter and smart too! She brightens your life and there is never enough time but she sure knows how to burn off energy successfully to give you so much joy, to which you richly deserve!

Tell me quick, what is she turning or grinding? The Children's Museum is something I wish I had growing up as a kid, but it's never too late to learn, is it?

Thanks Roy.

Patricia Feager she is turning a little fly wheel to propel a helicopter overhead. She could make it go backwards or forward - fast or slow, depending upon her efforts.

That was interesting. I like science museums that let you play with stuff. I just knock the kids out of the way, heh, heh. Give me that handle.

What a great photo and cute video, Debb and Bernie. You must have had a great time exploring, and watching. I loved going to museums, especially the interactive ones, with our kids, and now the grands! It's such fun to see how much they enjoy it.
