Thank You Sid

Children are creatures of imitation! I saw this clearly after my children watched an episode of "Sid the Science Kid" (PBS Kids) about using a ruler or tape measure to measure distances. They were pleading with me to get them a ruler and tape measure so they could measure stuff. "This is good" I thought, "they are enthusiastic about measuring, how scientific"! I was in my bathroom fixing my hair and was shortly joined by my two little scientists complete with measuring instruments. They proceeded to extremely seriously measure many items in the bathroom, including all of our rears (haha). Who else would have gotten my children excited about measuring anything or the vocabulary associated with measuring? I tip my hat and say, "Thank you, Sid!"
