Daily missive breaks into the weekend Sunday the 6th of September.

He jumps and sparks
With so much electricity
It could bring a carbon
Neutral solution
To powering the National grid.
It would be easy to organise
A few children in a room
Bouncing off the walls
Indoor soft play areas
On every corner
An environmentally safer option
To gas fired atomic power stations.
So inquisitive
They would question every detail
And parents would need to
Harness their own thought process
Which should mean
Adults would also benefit
From the early learning curve.
He is painting a salt dough mask
And every new task learned
Seems to change his outlook
From moment to moment.
Every new cognition
Seems to create movement
Throughout his body
No matter how small
Even the raising of an eyebrow
Demands attention
As new connections are made.
Matrices and schemas
Create complex circuits
And trace dendritic pathways,
A topographic ocean
Brain in motion.
As they map their world
And as we watch on
They begin to live and learn
In their own individual style
Every single child unique
Precious and perfect
You have to smile
At the lack of guile.
Let us keep it that way.
