Tuesday I took my 2 year old son to see the Backyardigans at the Jubilee. Sure the show was great, but what I loved was watching my son in awe. The first 15 minutes of the show I was in tears watching my son with his bright eyes and clapping as the characters took to the stage. He looked at me and with a smile on his face he yelled, “See Mama, see!!” Thank you Backyardigans for giving me this moment I’ll cherish forever.
Seeing my son like that made me think about how fast he’s growing. It was just 2 short years ago he came into my life, yet I feel like he’s been with me a lifetime. It’s like I’ve never not known him. I believe children are the true definition of “soul mate”. This is the time to re-live the marvels of the world through the eyes of our children. (Use Children as your bonus code) If you have older children, take a moment to look back at those times your child felt the wind on their faces. The time they were startled at the movement of their fingers and toes. The way they looked at you when you sang Itsy Bitsy Spider or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Reminisce the delight in seeing their first lady bug, or watched their first show (like the Backyardigans).
This really is the time of our lives, when time flies. They grow up so fast. How lucky are we to have such wonderful people to bless our lives – children.
