Until recently, there was one exception. Magazines. Specifically, three titles: Fast Company, Wired, and National Geographic. When one of those issues arrived in the mail, I got off the ride called my life, stuck my nose in the pages, and didn't emerge until I'd read the thing from cover to cover.
And so I felt a deep, deep pull within me when Jada's first three issues of National Geographic arrived in the mail yesterday. World traveler and curious person that she is, she was as eager as I was to tear the things open. We delayed enough to eat dinner and get ready for bed, but then we dove right in. We didn't go cover to cover - too late and too tired to do that - but we will, the first opportunity we have.
There's a special joy drawing your kids into something you really, really like. That night, at bedtime, I thanked God for National Geographic, for awesome nature and awesome things that people do. I hope my little girl will continue her enthusiasm for National Geographic, and maybe pass that enthusiasm on to her little one.
