Through the eyes of a child

"Today sure is a day to remember, isn't it Mama?"

This is what Liam said while we were outside. We weren't doing anything spectacular, we didn't pay loads of money to travel somewhere exotic. I was raking leaves and he was playing in the yard. The sun was out and this was truly the first day that we have been able to enjoy being outside. And my 5 year old boy looked around with a sense of awe and wonder that grown ups usually can only muster when they seen the great Pyramids or the wonder of Niagara Falls.

He even ran inside to get his camera to take a picture for his scrapbook. Don't know where he gets that from! But bad Mama had forgotten to upload his last batch of pictures and his card was full. He didn't mind. He's going to remember this day anyway!

Children are good at showing adults how to be present, aren't they?

What a great reminder! I love when my daughter pulls me back to the here and now.
