Sunny 9 for 2006 August 18

After all the horrible things I wrote about that Lily has done lately, I thought I should share some of the sweetness of my child as well as all the annoying things she does. I read this on babycenter.com, and it rings true to me: "Watch your utterly unself-conscious toddler twirl and jump and spin in the middle of the playground, and you'll discover the meaning of pure joy."

Maybe it hit me today after it being the same day she twirled in front of my friend's house today as if no one was watching and she hadn't a care in the world. Sometimes I miss that about life as a person over the age of 6 or 7. All you worry about is if there is any sweets in the house and what cool cartoons are on next. Hopefully I am more part of her pure joy instead of the person that prohibits her pure joy.
