memory monday: a precious gift, it is

Sep 17

Posted by: Rachel in: blog, caleb isaiah, just another day in paradise, memories, memory monday

To rediscover the world though a child’s eyes (and ears). We were walking around the pond behind our house this afternoon. I didn’t really even notice the crickets chirping in the edge of the woods. I grew up in th country, and the bugs and frogs just sort of blend into the sound of being outside to me. Caleb stopped to listen and said, “Hear dat? Hear dos bugs Momma? They singing. Hear da bugs singing Momma?” Yes I do. I hear them singing baby.

    These moments are so wonderful. I, too, grew up with all of those sounds in my backyard, and I sometimes forget how wonderful they are.

    Thanks for reminding to slow down a little and let me kids enjoy such things in our backyard.
