My kids and I were treading in rich green water, deep enough that none of us could touch—life vests and pool noodles keeping us afloat. I looked at my three kids and had a flash of the future cross my mind. Only by then, none of them will really need those floaties anymore.
This parenting season is beautiful for so many reasons, but I think what makes it the most beautiful is the fact that it is fleeting.
So, while I still have little heads to squeeze into goggles and bodies to buckle into life vests, while I still have little hands to hold and handprints to clean off the walls of my house, I want to soak these children in and learn all I can from them.
Join me today at Simple As That, where I’m sharing 14 beautiful things we can learn from our children. Thanks, as always, for your support!
