Why can’t we be like children? There is a reason I am asking this.The other day I went in the park with my daughter to play. As soon as we get there my daughter start’s to play with the other kids so I was looking around to see if I can talk with somebody too. Everybody was busy or pretending to be. Then I look back to the kids and they were having lot’s of fun. Why?
For instance a child doesn’t turn steel faced when someone looks in his/hers direction. Or they don’t try to avoid eye contact by turning their head or looking down. They are not greedy or sarcastic and they don’t know how to lie. They are warm and kind and they have an unbreakable curiosity. Their questions and answers are straight and unthinkable.Through their mind everything is either black or white. There is no grey area for them but, unfortunately, we are introducing that to them.
What I want to say is we have to be a little bit more like them. We could simply acknowledge one another and learn from our children to simplified our life. And we should know how to do that because we were once just like them.
I know it’s not easy what I am asking but after all its a small world that we are making so difficult. Let’s be more happy, more appreciative of the simple things in life.
Lets see our life trough our children eyes.

You are soooo right. I learned a lot from being a Mom. I still learn everyday. Bu the hardest lesson was to slow down and smell the flowers, see the butterflies, watch for loons, jump in puddles and general enjoy life at a much slower pace. I would not exchange for a whole lot of money.
that’s why you get younger when you are having a kid.
Right…tell that to my hair (LOL). You know, by that math, one of my dear friends, who has nine children between 21 and 2, should be no older than late teens.
I am still laughing. LOL.
