Short n Sweet - Discovery

 So I have talked before about seeing the world through the eyes of a boy. Well my little guy is now 21 months old and discovering everything. I still find myself in awe of the fact that he is here, it is a dream come true. So amazing.....
I waited, cried and prayed, I praised and watched my friends have babies, I will never forget the pain. But yesterday I got home early, before my husband and I took my little guy outside to wait for him and "sister" to get home. We sat on the driveway and as I watched him, the sun shining in his little blond tuffs of hair I found myself marveling at this little life. He sat next to me and found......wait for it.... a piece of grass! He was so amazed, utterly completely amazed. He had never studied a piece of grass before. Ever. He has walked in it, fallen in it, played in it, but never paid attention to it. Until yesterday. He picked a piece and looked at it for a very long time and even tried to say grass, it come out "gass". I often forget that children do not know anything until they discover it or we teach it.  Such young innocent minds, it makes me reflect on what I put in his mind, what I allow in his mind and examine what I NEED to be putting in his mind. Being a parent is a big job, I am thankful I have a God that is even bigger with a whole book on how to do this child rearing thing. What a beautiful day to put something new and wonderful into the mind of one beautiful little girl and one precious little boy.
