Why we should be more like children: Reason #1,287
This morning 3 year old Sadie excitedly grabs my hand, pulling me out of my cozy chair where I was sipping my first (and unfinished) cup of hot coffee.
“I wanna show you somfin!”
We walk towards the kitchen where she has strategically placed not one but two chairs, enabling her to reach a tall cupboard where I had (at least, up until now) hidden a bag of toys and gifts for the children.
“Look mommy! Get it down! That blue bag! It can be a present for me.”
It can be a present for me.
What would life be like as an adult if we went after what we wanted like that – totally confident that other people we love would be just as excited as we are about helping us get it?
It can be a present for me.

Got something to say?
That is adorable! Those moments make all the “work” of parenting seem small. Glad you wrote it down – for us to enjoy and for yourself
awwww, she is adorable. What a sweet soul, and face! I can’t believe how big she is. I remember when she was just a baby.
