Thinking

 

Do you ever wonder what goes on in the minds of our little ones?  What could they be thinking?

Our little ones are precious and we should never underestimate them.  They see things, hear things, and learn things far more than they should at times.  We sometimes forget just how absorbent their little brains are. Sometimes forgetting they are within ear shot of harsh things being said or within eye shot of bad things being done.

Why is it so hard for us adults to remember how fragile our precious gifts are?  We wonder why as young adults they say and do things that we don't like.  Well, "HELLO PEOPLE", they learned all these bad habits from us adults. We simply just can't go around spouting anything and everything that comes to mind or going around doing whatever we please with no consequences.  Little eyes and ears are learning these behaviors.

Personally, I would like to think my precious little ones are thinking about what toy to play with next or what book he wants to read.  Maybe he's thinking about what he wants for a snack while he watches his favorite Thomas the Train episode.  Heck, maybe he's thinking about how much he's enjoying his first ride on that train.

Please remember no matter what your are doing, these babies learn from the ones they trust the most.  It's ultimately up to us to their innocence as long as we can.  There's no need for them to grow up so fast.  Life is moving way to fast so let's preserve these moments while we can.
