As fascinating it is for children to inspect bugs and their behavior, I give kudos to you for letting him lead the way and you following. What a wonderful parental example! <br /><br />Now, for the lesson learned, I'm taking my preschool teacher hat off, and am thankful for your message. I too often look to the destination (more often than not, the destination is ticking things off the to-do list). I'm heeding your message the rest of the day and living in the moment. :)Maddie Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591180926700480845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-6702632608882317432014-03-26T09:53:59.749-07:002014-03-26T09:53:59.749-07:00Patricia--what a great word picture of your three-...Patricia--what a great word picture of your three-year-old!

He was obsessed -- and at 32 still has a large collection. One day when he was three, we were visiting friends who lived outside of town in the Sonoran Desert. Rock heaven! When I missed Alex and went to look for him, I found that he'd filled his pockets with so many rocks he could only walk by holding his pants up with both hands and slinging one leg ahead of the other like Frankenstein's monster. He had to show me the stellar qualities of each rock. Such a funny kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-1443051305385024192014-03-26T07:09:13.328-07:002014-03-26T07:09:13.328-07:00I loved this post!!

We live in the country, and the walk along our gravel road to the bus stop every morning yielded so many adventures. Bugs...crawlies going across the road...deer and raccoon tracks....acorns, with their little hats... <br /><br />Thank you so much for the wonderful reminder!RoxanneRustandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443712316288965799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-1509486498367615972014-03-26T07:04:27.886-07:002014-03-26T07:04:27.886-07:00I learn things from my kids all the time.

He has a way of looking at the world, a really off the wall, outside the box way of perceiving things. He offers some fascinating insights and opinions that really make me think.Helen Scott Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254001495060374379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-21329061635022487502014-03-26T06:14:37.510-07:002014-03-26T06:14:37.510-07:00Oh, Magdalena, You brought me back such memories o...Oh, Magdalena, You brought me back such memories of my own progeny.
