Firefox

Leo and I were reading a book from Mari - "The Way Things Work". We went through paper making, amplifiers, lenses, and then he asked if we could do 'forgetting'. I said that was a complicated subject and that we actually don't know much about why we forget things. He said, "Why don't we go into Firefox and type in 'why we remember and why we forget' and look it up on the web?" Umm, yeah, good idea!

He also had his first ski lesson today. My Hawaiian colleagues were here for work so I took them snowboarding and put Leo in ski school. He did GREAT! He went down the gently sloped kid area (with the magic carpet) 15-20 times. He didn't know how to stop so on his first run, he ran right into the fence. My dad has video of him trying to figure out how to turn around (he steps on his ski and then his boot comes out of the ski, then he takes off the other ski to fix them, then he lines them up along the fall line and attempts to get into his skis but every time he tries to get the second ski on, he starts sliding down the fall line). He was so excited about skiing and said he wants to go on the ski lift next and that he wants to come back. He also told me that when he carried his skis back to the lodge that he was even faster than the teacher. It was a great experience.
