Curiosity

I love quotes.  A while ago, I signed up for a daily quote that would be emailed every day.


The other day, this was the quote:


Curiosity is one of those insatiable passions that grow by gratification.--Sarah Scott


I love this!  This is what I strive to do with my girls...to let them know that we can find the answers to their curiosities, so that they will continue to be curious.  I don't want to squelch their curiosity by shushing them and pushing them away.


I admit that at times, I am tired or busy or overwhelmed by something and don't take enough time to listen to them and figure out what it is to they want to learn.


I will work on being a better listener, more patient and readily available when those curiosities pop up!
