Gifts from the heart

Today's gifts from my beautiful three year old girlie. ❤️

A growing child

Son woke up this morning and told me he'd grown. Said the toilet was lower down today. Measured him and he's about 2cm taller than when I measured him two days ago. The anticipated growth spurt has happened. 😂😍 Hopefully we can go back to sensible sleeping patterns again now. 

Having a horse for a child

After a very large post school snack (yoghurt, grapes, nectarine, chocolate, cucumber, tomatoes), six year old just ate an entire oversized head of brocolli with his large dinner. Like the whole thing. Guess I won't be eating any for my lunch tomorrow. 😭 He's eating like a six foot something top athlete at the moment. I'm awaiting a massive growth spurt imminently. 😳

Being a child

Today I was a child, jumping in puddles, feeling the squelchy mud beneath my boots, running through little rivers, picking up conkers, holding my face up to the sunshine, imagining fairy worlds in the forest tracks, and looking at mirror worlds in the water. I lived and loved nature. 

A few people told me later they were envious of me feeling free enough to jump, that they get urges to do so, but worry what others will think. Others said they'd never even contemplate such splashing, worrying about muddy shoes or wet socks. 

I'm glad I feel free enough to let my inner child allowed out to play regularly. What a blessing!

Comedians

Six year old told me that he and a friend put on a funny show at school today, they were chefs making pizza, but instead of ketchup, they said to paint the pizza and they made everyone laugh. 

He said that later on they made actual pizzas - his was with pepperoni and pineapple, very adventurous ingredients were provided by the sounds of things!

He was so happy with himself and I was so happy to hear he felt free to be silly and have fun. As life should be.
