Take a moment to try and recall the earliest memory you have — around how old were you? For most people, the earliest memory they have took place when they were around 3 to 4 years old. Even then it’s super common to not have any solid memories until years later. Because of this, it’s common for folks to wonder why some parents go through so much effort to take their little ones on adventures. After all, won’t they not remember these experiences?

This thought may have crossed Rita Lopes’ mind when she planned a trip to the aquarium with her baby. But if it did, it certainly didn’t change her plans — and she’s happy to explain why. Though, if you ask me, the footage of her little one’s reaction to aquatic life is the only answer that’s needed. See for yourself in the heartwarming video below!
As Rita points out, it’s true that her baby won’t remember the details of this day. But that’s not why experiences like these matter so much. For starters, research has shown that 90 percent of the brain develops before we are even 5 years old. So, while we can’t recall many details during this time, what we experience matters. So, why not provide our sweet kiddos with as many vibrant, beautiful experiences as possible?
