I’M CHASING BUTTERFLIES
At Monday pick-up from school,
my son and I walked through a big field of grass and buttercups to our car. He spotted a yellow butterfly; not the normal little white moth butterflies that you see everywhere this time of year.
“A yellow butterfly!” He excitedly pointed out to me.
I would not have noticed it; Thank goodness for 4-year-olds.
“Let’s chase it!” And so we did. We ran around and stopped when the butterfly did. We got very close a couple of times.
My son laughed and laughed.
And I realized at that moment that I had never actually chased a butterfly before.
Like I said, Thank goodness for 4-year-olds!

I find myself looking at caterpillars constantly because of my 4 year old! I agree!
I remember our youngest (age three at the time, now 20) kneeling in the middle of his bed — snatching at the air. So I ask him, “What are you doing?”
Without losing focus on his task he answered, “Catching sunbeams!”
And then I noticed all the dust particles glistening in the light that was streaming in the window.
Tell me what you're thinking...
