The inside of a mountain,,,hmmm, Yep …these are the questions I field on the way to preschool. I never thought about that one. I tried to give a really good answer and got tangled up as usual. I ended up taking Seth to class…still stumbling through it and handing him off to the teacher telling them they needed to address his question ..hehehehehe. I asked a mom of a kid in my son’s class on the way out to the car…she said quickly …”tell ‘em it’s dark” I told her that was a cop out! Another said “looks like dirt”…nah…too easy…cop out again.
You see…quick answers aren’t the ticket to being energized…renewed in your mind. Stop going for quick.. easy.. obvious…stop and think a moment. It will be fun for you and your child. The key is thinking and musing with God’s help…come up with new information…seeing something differently you never paid attention to or thought about…look at something differently..ask some questions to yourself …your kid and God…have fun with it!
Another one was what does a platypus eat and what continent do they live on? I quickly hit the internet upon returning home after the drop off. I found out so I could dazzle him on the way home. I also got a new gem to amaze him..and make him proud of “dat” (how he says dad) I found out male platypus have stingers on their back legs for protection. He liked that one.
My favorite game we play is “what lives in those woods?” We pass a state park/reservoir on the way to school. Once we get past the question of what is the difference between a woods and forest..another one I trip up on and hand off to his teacher, hehehehehe. We each name an animal that could possibly be found in our area…fortunately platypus can’t..I don’t want to be stung.
My point is this…think like your child..look through your child’s eyes not yours to add some spark to your life. To energize your routine. Look around like he does and be amazed again at God’s creation. Question things you pass everyday and ignore. Muse and contemplate what if…just for fun. Give some silly names to things. Slow down and take it all in with your kid. And then again…apply it to your classroom. Dont worry about if YOU like the activity…will they? 
If not..change it up!
Take a walk with God and ask Him some stuff…see things though his eyes too…between looking through your child’s eyes and looking through God’s eyes…wow..talk about being renewed and excited! Try it..come on…you’ll have to slow down…you’ll have to look around…..try it..I dare you not to smile….okay?
