- Always sleep when you can.
- Try to wear fancy shoes whenever possible.
- Attempt the climb because, after all, you really don’t have far to fall!
- Make good use of things at your disposal, because a roll of wrapping paper can be an boat’s oar and a table can certainly be a hidden fort.
- When you learn a new word, use it over an over again so you never forget its meaning.
- Sing while you play (or work).
- Drink milk, not soda, and eat fruit, not chips.
- Always smile for the camera, no matter what you look like.
- Dirt under your fingernails is merely a sign of an afternoon of digging in the garden.
- Watch shows on TV that will TEACH you something and read books with substance.
- Above all, laugh at EVERYTHING!
They sure are a lesson in simplicity, aren’t they? How can such tiny people have so much to teach us? Good thoughts.
I wish grown up life could be so simple!
simple living…simple loving…
you bless me, girl…

These are good. I can tell you are watching your girls with a writer’s eye.
Two of my girls have black, black fingernails from playing with pecans. No amount of scrubbing will remove the traces of that fun afternoon!

Renee – I love tiny people!
Janelle – I think we make grown up life difficult! I hear you.
Dad – thank you.
Kate – I wish we had fresh pecans!
Aren’t children great?
Beautifully seen through their eyes.
Dirt under the nails is the sign of a fun day for sure! For me, of course, it is the sure sign that I need a mani/pedi!
Aww..what a great post! Your daughter is beautiful!

I’m laughing because my oldest’s kindergarten teacher talks about how he is constantly singing LOUDLY during his seat work. I guess that one is sticking. And I can say he comes by it naturally
such a sweet smiling child you have here
I love how you are changing the size of the words. I copied you on my blog.
Love you!
That about sums up the life of a toddler — wouldnt it be fun to be little again?
