When Did I Lose the Child in Me?
As parents we should find that child in us from time to time so that we can relate to our children.
Remember when we used to see a puppy as something to love and would love us back instead of seeing only the puddles?
Remember when we found joy in eating snow and burnt marshmallows, burying ourselves in leaves, saving gum that had been chewed, throwing rocks, getting our feet wet, and kissing the dog?
When did we become so rigid that we couldn’t shoot baskets with the kids because we had to clean out the refrigerator and change the baking soda, or work on our car?
Break loose once in awhile mom and dad and find that child within yourself and enjoy a few special moments doing what your child is doing!! You might even enjoy it!
