I’M CHASING BUTTERFLIES

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!

  2. I find myself looking at caterpillars constantly because of my 4 year old! I agree!

  4. 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...
