“The teacher is the one

who gets the most out of the lessons,

and the true teacher is the learner.”

Elbert Hubbard

this morning

i uploaded pics one wee older one took

on our way home from the city

without me ever teaching or trying

this one is slowly building a relationship

 with a camera

and it makes me oh so happy

to see him wanting to capture the world

i have to say

its pretty neat

 to look at the world through his eyes

{you will see "imodify" on the pics as i felt it was only right to give him the credit for such shots



what took 40 minutes to arrive at our destination

ended in a two and a half hour drive

to get back home

ive always loved the city

i do at times miss living near the city

but the traffic

that...i.could.do.without

so as we drove

or shall i say creeped along

i became a wee bit thankful for this time we had

i began to share stories

of how

when i was younger

we would skip school

just to go into the city

of how we would wander aimlessly for hours

and slowly make our way back home

huh...mama...thas not good

says one wee littlest fromt the back

i know...i know

but why mama...why did you do that???

is it because you did not like school

 

oh this wee little voice said it quite clear

 

in all honesty sweetie...no i did not like school

 



oh...says one wee little one

 

so when i don't like something

i can just leave

 

 

oh boy...what did i just do

is the thought that ran through my mind

 

a chuckle came from my side

 

and then i hear

 

no buddy...you just can't leave

 

 

hey look mama...look at the mountain

ah...thank goodness

 

this wee little ones thoughts were detoured

 

will he forget such conversation

 

believe me

 

NOT

 

oh no

no such chance for erasing this wee little memory

 

and so as our drive slowly came to end

i ever so proud of what one older one was doing

 

and as for me

 i was left shaking my head in shame

whoops...i guess a wee bit to much information this day
