Learning from Little Kids

Yesterday I tried to put up a new post... Twice. So, I am going to try this again.

It's amazing what you can learn from a toddler. I have a two-year-old brother and he says so many interesting things. For example, last night we were coming home from church. My oldest brother was driving and my mom and dad were going to come home in a separate car. My little brother asked where his mommy was, knowing that she was coming home later. Like any other sibling, we tried to convince him that she wasn't going to come home. He just smiled and said she's coming home. He was so confident that his mommy would come home that night. Of course, we then asked the toddler why she had to come home. He didn't even hesitate he came up with a list like this one:

-she makes me food
-she plays with me
-she puts the movie in for me
-she puts me in bed
-she gets me dressed

He could name all of these things off the top of his head and he is only two! I don't know about you, but I don't think much about all the different things my parents do for me on a regular basis. I have started taking things for granted. I wish that I didn't, but I do. And to think, I started thinking through this because of a toddler.
