Our friends Jen and Steve brought their daughter, Erika, up to dinner tonight. We asked her how old she is and she said "3"...she is only 2. She has energy to BURN!!
We made a fish stew for dinner - new recipe that turned out pretty good - She ate her noodles before our dinner was done and we put on one of her favorite shows that we downloaded from Netflix. It made dinner pretty easy and after her show was done and the TV shut down she objected strongly until Travis explained the TV was tired and had to go to bed. She totally got that logic and accepted it with no questions asked.
Kids have this innocent trust that is so refreshing. We have all heard there is an inner child in all of us, nothing points that out more clearly then spending time with a precocious two year old. It might do us all good to imagine what we would be like as a child today - it is easy to forget how little anything matters except enjoyment of life, including all the little things, and love.
I Am Grateful,

Very nice sentiments....just not sure I am into the "fish" stew. Kinda scares me.
