The Little Things

I really love how kids can help you remember to find joys in the little things in life. Anything that looks remotely shaped like a ball makes Nic happy. Whether it be a cherry tomato, a watermelon or an actual ball, Nic is on cloud 9 as soon as it touches his hands. He spent one afternoon last week in his pool playing with various sizes of balls and some rubber snakes and he was thoroughly enjoying every moment! Then today we went grocery shopping and the lady in the floral shop at Kroger gave him a free red balloon. He was ecstatic! He was hitting it and squealing and laughing all through the store. Then when we got home he ate dinner holding it and played with it all evening. I absolutely love that such little things make him so happy! He's so funny and sweet and he really makes me stop and appreciate all of the little moments I am able to share with him.
