All Figured Out.
Okie Dokie, folks... Check this out. I'm pretty sure our children are smarter than we are. I'm not talking about mathematics, knowing the difference between Iran and Iraq, or mastering the English language... Although I'm fairly certain our 12 year old twins could school us there too...
I'm talking about knowing what the hell is important. Kids don't care if the laundry is piled up, they could care less about dishes in the sink.. All they care about is you coming to work a puzzle with them. You listening to their very long stories. Reading to them, playing a game that has 13 missing pieces or just holding them on your lap for a minute. That's all. That's all that matters in their sweet little heads.
Our boy. He would stay home 24/7 if he could. Why in the world should he have to go somewhere? It's great at home! He's got his toys, his family. He's got all he needs under our roof. It's a mystery to him why daddy has to go to work... What a great way of thinking. Worry? He doesn't even know what that is. All he cares about is hugging dad every single morning. Telling me about what NFL Rush Zone guy is his favorite. Giving me a kiss every now and then that I didn't even ask for! These things make him happy. He's got the right idea. This is the stuff that matters. Kids have it all figured out. And this kid? He's a colorful one. Just like those raspberries on his fingertips. He makes us laugh every single day. Little loving thing..
Here is our little man just being him. Christmas morning enjoying his raspberries in the chair by his daddy. Bliss. Go out and embrace the things that matter today. And for today, just for today...think like a child... A fun, carefree, colorful child.
