I am constantly amazed and delighted by the way my boys view the world. Whether it be the total concentration they'll give to a teeny little bug I would've stepped over without even noticing, or the creative and incredibly detailed shapes they see in the clouds, or their endless fascination with all things having to do with the potty, or just the wacky things that come out of their mouths -- they always surprise me (and occasionally gross me out as well). Well, earlier today, Spence and I were heading out to pick Foster up from preschool, and he said, "Hey, Mom. I know that I was born, but I can't remember exactly WHEN I was born. Do you know?" So, I told him his birthday, and then he said something that was really adorable. A huge grin broke out over his face, and he said, "Mommy, thanks so much for finding that memory for me!" Cute, huh? In his view of things, he had lost the memory of his birthday, and I found it for him. I just love the way he thinks!
Cheers!
I love the way the mind of children work! Cute story!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kaycee! Yeah, my boys are constantly forcing me to look at things a little differently. Keeps things interesting... Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable. These kinds of things are one of the best things about being a mom of toddlers. I love the things they find and the observations they make that I, too, never would have seen or thought of. It really is grounding and heartwarming at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLove it and I agree it's one of the best things about being a Mom. My daughter told me tonight when it was time for bed, that her heart wasn't ready for bed. Now what's a Mom to do with that?
