Good morning good people!
Our first major snow storm and longest extended cold weather in the last four years arrived Thursday. I'm at work this morning. H/t to fellow c99er's for this morning's music.

Still feeling blue about losing Oscar, but little Fred is injecting fun around the household. Thank goodness he sleeps once in a while.

Interesting little study published last month looking at the quality of play in toddlers and the number of toys they have available.
With fewer toys, participants had fewer incidences of toy play, longer durations of toy play, and played with toys in a greater variety of ways. This suggests that when provided with fewer toys in the environment, toddlers engage in longer periods of play with a single toy, allowing better focus to explore and play more creatively.
Adults are not significantly different than toddlers when it comes to toys or as we often call them tools. The question is - How are we decreasing our creativity by thinking we need a specific tool or app (software program) for every task.
