Thank you for sharing.
Yes, I...LUCY, I love this! Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Yes, I learned something very interesting from a younger relative who is so smart. Even at the age of 3. Two examples off the top of my head.<br /><br />1). There was a neighbor with a child the same age as this kid. I'll use NK to refer to the neighbor's kid and K to refer to my relative. When NK came over to play with K, NK tried to boss around K and K would not "obey". NK said "If you do not do what I say, then we cannot be friends". K still would not do what NK wanted. K always showed courtesy and respect but would not follow NK's command. K was NO pushover! LOL. And guess what? They are still friends. Even at the age of 3, K knew how to set healthy boundaries!<br /><br />Second example:<br />When K and her parents went to a Halloween event, K was dressed as Snow White. I think K was about 3 or 4 years old. Some mean kids at the Halloween event said "I will give you poisoned apple". K said "That is not a nice thing to do." The lesson here is that K was never afraid to stand up for herself!<br /><br />Children often notice things that adults do not notice. I was just reading (again) one of my favorite mysteries. The protagonist and her colleague had a disagreement. The colleague believed that children should be seen and not heard, which dates back to Victorian era thinking. The protagonist did not agree and said "Children should be seen and heard".<br /><br />I often think about what the world would look like to a new baby. I loved the photos and thank you for sharing your stories. <br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-71983394572638874722022-02-13T11:07:13.544-05:002022-02-13T11:07:13.544-05:00Your pictures are beautiful.

Fierce. <br /><br />Zak is turning 17 this week, and I'm feeling all nostalgic, anyway. We used to wrestle on the floor, with massive giggling, and I miss that time. Now he's big enough he could fling me off my feet and yell, "Take down!" I learned that from my own mom, who even now at 92 would still get down on the floor to play with the littles if she could. <br /><br />Is there anything more fun and enchanting than to enter into a child's world? Tea parties, jousts with unseen foes, and Barbie extreme sports, all just pure joy.Karen in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846039203123720312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-26142104825434951782022-02-13T10:15:38.618-05:002022-02-13T10:15:38.618-05:00All good advice, Kathy.
