the last few days-picture posting

We went for a walk at one of our local park's nature trails yesterday.....

 

Gabriel and Daddy walking down the trail....

Gabriel is ready to go!

Mama helps him down the stairs at the old cabin site.

Gabriel had so much fun exploring!

I love this one.  Actually, I love them both.

I am eating yogurt all by myself!

Waving to his apple

Talking to the apple..."Hi!"

Hi Mama!

It is amazing to see how quickly my little one is growing up.  Last year at this time, he was just starting to eat a little bit of cereal, I think. He was just starting to scoot and roll over.   This week, he fed himself yogurt, ate an apple, and walked in the woods.

  The amount of changes a child experiences in the first three years is quite overwhelming when you think about it.  Yet, they take it all in stride as it is as it is supposed to be.

Babies become toddlers, Toddlers become pre-school children, and eventually they all go to Kindergarten (unless they home/unschool of course!)....But they are always learning and growing. 

Maybe this is what Jesus meant when he said we needed to have the heart of a child to enter the kingdom of God: To be open to life, to wonder, to learning about creation.
