Childhood

"don't take these moments for granted"

Day 16/31: it's been a long time since there have been crayola crayons in the house. my daughter is discovering so many things that i once enjoyed myself as a child. she gets so amazed by simple things, like a new box of crayons or pack of stickers. there is nothing sweeter than watching her face light up when she is in awe of something new.

there are a lot of other moments we experience together, many mundane, some perhaps with her in a fit of todder-rage. i admit it is exhausting. i am exhausted tonight as i pick up her crayons from the floor, many broken, to create today's mandala.

i try to remind myself how precious every little moment is, even though there are a lot of times where i am just so tired and am focusing on achieving task, after task, so that we can go to bed. don't take these moments for granted, carly! coloring with the crayons, i am reminded of what it is like to be a child, and how quickly childhood passes by.
