Little dirt can't harm you :)


Hygiene is elementary and it is completely normal to eat clean food, drink clean water and take a shower regularly. It seems logical if a dummy falls on a ground you will wipe it first before you put it into your baby’s mouth again but is it necessary all the time? Of course if the dummy drops on the ground in New York Time Square it is pretty obvious to clean it before you give it to you baby but if it falls down in you parent country house it doesn’t harm your baby. Babies need to have the microbes and build their own body protect system. Excessive hygiene can cause many illnesses and it's funny how thing you are doing in a first place to protect your child are turning completely against you or your child later. I totally agree with that article but I still find that you must have some elementary hygiene for example I think it would be still wise to wash your hand before you start eating. I find that there is no reason to be neat freak but also not to be completely unclean as well, you simply need to find a golden path in between and let the babies to explore the world in peace.

Goldfish memory :)




The expression that "you have same bad memory like goldfish does" is very commonly used. But is it true? I just used this expression to describe my own memory for some reason and one of my course mates told me that goldfish are actually very intelligent. Subject seems interesting and I decided to observe it a little bit more closely. Interesting reading is on pages http://nootropics.com/intelligence/brainyfish.html. and http://nootropics.com/intelligence/smartfish.html.

It is amazing how intelligent actually goldfish are but more impressive of course is how do they train them. To train goldfish to show you the time or collect food when you say so is pretty impressive. The training part will be someone’s future blog topic but this time I just wanted to break the myth about goldfish bad memory (I really hope that the video is not a some special effect).

Interesting video clip :)



Impressive or what? :)
