Here in Champlin, MN, we got about 8 inches of snow last night, and it is so beautiful. I think of all the children off of school today (President's Day) going sledding, building forts, and throwing snowballs.
Well, I know that some are more interested in being on Facebook or playing games on their Ipod, but today I'm dreaming up a little old-fashioned child fun ~ Norman Rockwell moments, perhaps.
Let's delight in our children, just being children. Sometimes we want them to act like grown ups instead of remembering that they are "so 12" or "so 2", as I like to say. Remembering that they are acting their age even when they aren't quite as well-behaved as you'd like may help you delight in them anyway. They are our gifts and our treasures. Also our pleasures! Enjoy them and hug them today.
