I’ve been told (more than a few times) my daughter is a mini-me. Although we are similar in many ways, she is very much her own person. Her unique innovative spirit amazes me and I love watching her creativity mature and grow. The seeds I saw when she was little have spread and multiplied. I’m anxious to see how they further develop!
For young children, everything is new and exciting in the beginning. A two-year old is ecstatic over watching a dump truck. A child unleashes their unstoppable movement in the rhythm of music. A little one is mesmerized by squishing food through his fingers. Each day is a new exploration.
As children grow up, so do their aspirations. The incessant love for animals grows into a desire to become a Veterinarian. The high attention to the surrounding colorful aesthetics reveals an artist waiting to fly. A nurturing heart and relentless love for impoverished children rises up a future parent to a needy orphan.
One of the greatest joys of being a parent is watching our children develop their own passions and interests. What a privilege we have to encourage our children in their zest for life.
