New Ways of Thinking

[mandysee_mandydo]

Today on the walk to my office to take care of a minor chore, I started thinking about how I would explain snow to our child. I thought about how I would explain what snow is, where it comes from, what happens when it goes away, and how natural cycles work and the interconnectedness of everything in the natural world. Then I started thinking about the big words I was thinking and how I would explain those concepts to our child. I am so excited to be a parent. I've noticed it's helping me recapture that wonder of the world around me and an eagerness to share it.

It's funny. Kids have a way of helping you rediscover the world. It is a great joy and I am glad you are so excited.

I'm rather worried about when Liam starts asking about snow and other weather phenomena... I'm afraid I'd go into a deep scientific discussion that he would understand precisely 1% of. LOL.
