It's the seeing the wonder of the world through babies and children's eyes.
When you give them something new to eat and they have that first taste. The way they screw up their face, not at all sure if they like it. But then, they realise it's delicious and have another bit and another bit and they can't get enough of it.
When they figure out that the round peg goes in the round hole and they've mastered it.
When they realise that it's an aeroplane in the sky.
When they want to pick all of the daisies in the park to give you a bouquet.
When they are tired and they climb on your lap and get in that comfy position on you and you feel them relax.
When they start to recognise letters and words and then read out the road signs.
When they start school and they're looking for you to tell their teacher o can see my mommy and they run over to you like their life depends on it.
When you're swimming with them and they no longer grip you for dear life, they swim a bit on their own and they are as proud of punch as themselves.
When they crack the first egg in the baking bowl and it all goes in. The smile!
And so it goes on. My first is a bit older now. It when he sends me screenshots from insta of the next pretentious coffee place he's found and suggests we go together on Friday. Or, when he comes downstairs and sees.me drying up and takes the tea towel off me and says I'll do this mum.
Or when my 9yo says, let's snuggle up together and read mommy, it's my favourite place to be you know.
And so much more. You must have moments like this?
