The brothers that I nanny for Clayton 4 and George 6 are full of life. They are constantly challenging my perception of things.
Yesterday was our last beach day before George went off to school. We were burying Clay in the sand and then George asks “Danielle can you google how many pieces of sand there are?”
Me and my skeptical adult mind thought there could not possibly be an accurate answer but I said yes and grabbed my phone to google.
There was an answer. Not what I had expected. It gave a number of 7.5 sextillion sand grains. That is the number 75 followed by 17 zeros.
Then while reading into it I found a very interesting article written by an astronomer named Bob Berman. He stated : “There are about the same number of stars in the observable universe as there are sand grains in all of the Earth’s beaches.”
George and I both found that fascinating. Then we started talking about how the earth is 78% water and so are our bodies. We started to see a pattern of balance.
George then says “Danielle google who was the first person here and who made all of this up.”
George is going to get to the bottom of this!
A great detective. The answer he gets will determine his direction. He will be satisfied with it or search out the answer for himself. God is the answer. God is always the answer.😃❤️

You go George! If anyone can get to bottom of it he will I’m certain! Curiosity is what is sorely missing in the world today! Glad they had a fun last day before school begins. VK ❤
