Here is E7months having his very first swing on the deck. He was quite pleased with himself and sniggered away at Daddy as he swung back and forth.
If we could remember the first experiences of our lives what would we feel?
I wonder that as I watch my sweet baby exploring new sights, sounds, tastes and more everyday.
As we get older it is so easy to lose the wonder at the magic and mystery that sourrounds us... the warmth of the sun as it breaks through the clouds...the intricacies of a beetle...the simple delight at splashing in a mud puddle, or making a sandcastle or finding a smooth pebble in the garden.
I think we can learn so much from watching our children's firsts... as their eyes are opened to new and amazing things.
Oh, the eagerness and freshness of youth! How the boy enjoys his food, his sleep, his sports, his companions, his truant days! His life is an adventure, he is widening his outlook, he is extending his dominion, he is conquering his kingdom. How cheap are his pleasures, how ready his enthusiasms! In boyhood I have had more delight on a haymow with two companions and a big dog-delight that came nearer intoxication- than I have ever had in all the subsequent holidays in my life. - John Burroughs

i get so much excitement when i see adults who still have such a joy of learning and passing it on.
we went to see ruud kleinpaste (The Bugman) here in The Sunny Bay this arvo. he let his three wetas (george, dorothy.. dot@dotcom, and betty) crawl all over his face and he got pooped on my the weta and he passed the poop around to be sniffed etc. then he passed the wetas around with all sorts of dialogue about how they tell ehat the weather is gonna be like (pop their derrieres out of the tree and sense it on their back-feelers..) etc.
