clean your plate
Image via Wikipedia
the other day our family was eating dinner and our Dear Son whom is almost three and a half asked if he could have dessert. Of course he hadn’t eaten hardly any of his veggies or meal so the answer was “you first need to clean your plate.” Dear Son looked at me and asked, “can i have a napkin?”
it took us a while, but we finally figured out when we said to him “clean his plate” he took it in the litterial sense of cleaning. it was quite cute and we all got a good hardy laugh out of it.
to see life again through the eyes of a child growing up and adventuring, learning, experimenting and loving is an amazing journey my family is just beginning and i’m thrilled and passionate to wake each day to learn what will be next.
do you have a story through the eyes of a child?

Joshua had a profound realization this past weekend. I must say maybe it was more profound to Gwenn and I. He approached us very gently, placed his hand on our cheeks and said: I love you more then my toys! For a 4.5 year old little boy. This is huge. He is such a cutie-pie!

Image via Wikipedia We are each given a story, a story called life. Life pushes us to our extremes on many levels, emotional, physical, mental all at different times and on some occasions simultaneously.
