You know when we set out on our paths as adults we tend to forget the little things in life that make it so simple. Have you ever watched a child play, I mean closely watched, not in a protective manner but listened tot he imagination, watched their movements and actions? I chose to do that just that this weekend with my youngest daughter and learned something about her I never knew. She loves to be alone and hates to be alone at the same time. What I mean is she absolutely love the idea that she is alone when her big sis is gone to a friends house since she is able to play and think and do what she wants to. She has the most amazing imagination when she is allowed to use it, and big si doesn’t tell her what to say or play. Her personality is totaly different when her sister is nowhere around her. She is a very independent child that can think and play for hours on end without anyone else and have fun. What a wonderful child, thoughtful, confident, spunky, and very caring. So the next time you are given the opportunity to just sit back and observe one of your children may I suggest you do just that, you will be surprised at what you learn about him or her that you never knew.
