I think the lesson I am going to keep learning from you over and over and over and over.... AND over again is 'How To Enjoy The Moment'. That really is what kids do best.
Sometimes the moment is:
--When lunch is spilled all over the kitchen table. Automatically I get irritated and think about how long it is going to take to clean up. Automatically you look at it as something to play and have fun with.
--When you get to vacuum all by yourself. Automatically you are basking in the reality of having a responsibility. Automatically I am just thinking about what needs to be done next.
--When you get to take a bath. Automatically you assume the role of having a fishing adventure. Automatically I am off to try and pick up the room next door.
But there are times when I decide to get a little wiser. Like tonight when we went to Artic Circle for dinner (since dad has been out of town for days, and mom needed a cooking break) and played on the slide together for 2 hours. You loved it so much you talked about it all the way home.
When do we lose living by the moment as adults? When does that happen?
I am sure it is different for everyone. But for me, I know it is a lesson I am going to keep learning all my life. Just relax and enjoy the moments.
That is the theme for today.
I love you,
Mom
