Kids!

So I have a super awesome sister-in-law. She is not a mom yet, but she has some incredible perspective on children. And i know she is going to be an awesome mom some day soon! I stole this little bit from her blog. I just love it. And i am so grateful to be a mom and to be with my kids everyday- learning from them these lessons.


Kids are honest, trusting, loving, happy, so smart, lively, spiritual, excited, open, emotional, active, resilient, fun, kind, forgiving, very observant, own up to their true thoughts and feelings, giving and affectionate. Adults could learn many lessons from children. In fact, let's just let the little kiddies run the world, yes? I was reminded of all these wonderful traits children have while sitting in a booth eating pizza with cute girlies.
So next time you bottle up your feelings or thoughts or have an urge to say some snide remark or share gossip or withhold giving affection to someone you love or start wallowing in fear and misery, try skipping for a little while or whistling really loud or hugging someone you love or pretend you are a puppy or spill a cup of rootbeer all down the front of your shirt.
I promise, you won't regret it.

Thanks Brit! Love ya!
