Harry wanted to get a video today while we were at the library. He wanted Monster, Inc., which he had apparently seen part of at school, but they didn't have it in. So, he picked a little educational documentary on Spiders. At first, I actually thought about discouraging it, thinking it would not be what he expected. But, of course I realized what a stupid idea that was. If the kid wants to watch something educational, it'd be a crime to lead him instead to inane entertainment. And, sure enough, when we put it on this evening, he was fascinated. Better still, there was a noticeable difference in his attentiveness to this informative subject than there usually is toward other videos and movies that we've gotten for him. How long will that last?
