“A smile starts on the lips,
A grin spreads to the eyes,
A chuckle comes from the belly;
But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul,
Overflows,
and bubbles all around”
Carolyn Birmingham
one wee voice calls out
...look mama...
these words are a
RED FLAG
for me in our home
as i come around the corner
...one mama takes a deep breath...
{insert one wee little ones name}
COULD.YOU.PLEASE

as i walked closer
to check out the situation at hand
i found myself reaching for my camera
such fun this wee little one was having
all in a glass of milk
who would have thought...right
without thinking of what was NOW happening
MILK SPILLING EVEYWHERE
my frustration turned into laughter
MILK SPILLING EVEYWHERE
my frustration turned into laughter
i can remember numerous times
having a straw in my glass as a wee little one
having a straw in my glass as a wee little one
listening to the sounds that came when i blew
and trying to see how massive
i could make my bubbles become
i could make my bubbles become
and then the fun would come to an end
as i was being told by an adult
do not play with your food
so i went from mama who almost ruined the day
to being
quite captivated
by the wee bit of fun
one wee little one was creating

ya for the save on the Mama to the fun sharer. Exploration moments of the soul for you and them. Brilliant as they say across the pond. Oma Linda
fun can come from such simplicity.. dont you just love it...
Haha! I too want to be the mama that embraces the moment in joy! Sometimes we get lost in our parenting role, but its so fun when we become child-like in our wonder :)
yay for moments spent laughing and loving and connecting!
what a mama! How much more pleasant the world would be and how much happier our kids would be if we could all stop and look at the humor in a situation instead of stopping the fun or loosing our tempers.
I just wanted to take a moment to say that I am really glad you are back.
I've missed your posts.

How fun.
There is only one you, only one me, each of is an original, the world needs what we have.
So happy you found your way back to us.

Bubbles are so much fun! It is hard NOT to be excited by them! Glad you took a moment to see what was happening first - and that you had your camera ready to capture a moment of pure glee!
