The amazing thing about parenting is that I learn more from them than they learn from me. Sure, I teach them basic stuff like how to do the poopsie in the toilet and identify different flower species. But in return, they teach me far more important lessons like how to stop and smell those flowers.
Yesterday, we spent some time on the swing set downstairs during our usual playground session. I showed her how to close her eyes and throw back her head while in motion to feel like she was flying.
She practiced a few times, then beamed and said “I’m happy, mommy.”
Momma’s happy too, sweetheart.

cannot agree more! kids make us learn to see everything with a whole new perspective too.

How adorable that you taught her the actions to feel like she’s flying! Sweet :) By the way, Bubbles has that top too! She received it as a present.

Totally agree! Kids teach us to see things with new eyes, and their perspectives are often so much sweeter and purer.

I can’t agree more. Spending time with my son helps me to appreciate things I’ve forgotten or ceased to notice. The world is so strange, big and wonderful to him and I feel privileged to share it with him and to re-live my childhood again. :)
