As you all know one of the highlights of any adult is CHILDREN. For some it's such a joy to add grandchildren to their lives. I for one feel complete. Today I had the privilege to have my grandson Andrew over. Of course he does a wonderful job at watching his grandma lol. But we had a wonderful time.
I decided today to have some fun by not only helping my 3 year old grandson to cut paper but also to allow him to share some exciting stories. Oh boy is he full of those. They sure can make a person SMILE.
Well what we did was take some leftover Christmas wrapping paper and I helped him cut some odd shaped paper out. Then I gave him a pen and said hey Andrew would you like to give a special note from you to people for Christmas? Boy did I say the right thing for once to him. Why sure I would he said. Then I listened closely as he would scribble away and share a message just for that person he wanted to give a note for.
I listened then I took mental notes in my head of what he was saying. After he was done, I then took a pen and wrote what he said by his wonderful writing. Do you know that he wrote over 20 little notes, and do you know that even a 3 year old, almost 4 year old can think up more special words to say then most adults and they weren't even the same words, well except that he wants CAKE for his up coming birthday.
I sure was amazed and proud of Andrew.
So my simple idea for today is to THINK SIMPLE, AS A CHILD WOULD. I am sure when everyone opens their special message from Andrew that not only will he be proud and beaming but every person on his list will be grinning from ear to ear just knowing that a SIMPLE 3 year old child, can make a whole bunch of people FEEL WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!
