Through my son I've been rediscovering some simple pleasures:
Watching ants scurry around an anthill.
Licking the bowl and beaters.
Planting flowers and daily checking on their progress.
Digging in the dirt.
Building tracks for matchbox cars.
Making sock puppets and spending the day using them to talk for us.
Rolling marbles down the stairs.
Baking cookies.
Running, skipping, hopping, jumping...everywhere.
Riding on the back of the grocery cart.
Ringing all the doorbells in the hardware store.
Climbing inside the bathtubs at Home Depot and pretending they're bobsleds.
I can't tell you how many more of these simple pleasures I'm looking forward to experiencing as my son ages, his imagination develops, and we go out into the wide world.
