child's play... child's mind.

Sitting on my kitchen floor while my 3 year old brother is on his potty (being potty trained!) we look at 4 pictures of him about a year ago when he was at daycare... two of them are just of him and 2 of them are with 2 other little girls. These 4 pictures for me would have gone by in about 1 to 2 minutes but for him each picture lasted as long as it would have taken for me to go through them all. Of course babies are much more curious and observant but it was so interesting, and actually impressive in a way, to see how engaged he was, making me want to be more like that for certain things. Taking time to observe things, see the importance in them. It really reflects how much people and things can change in such a short period of time, and that's actually been standing out to me in many other ways... today starting a new school year, seeing how things are already starting to change from just 2 months ago and to see (and to be in control) of how things will come to be in the up coming months. We need to realize how much control we have and actually TAKE CONTROL to make the best out of our futures, no matter how corner or metaphor-y it may sound, it's still very true. Time goes to fast, you have to love and appreciate each moment as it comes and passes, don't let this time slip out of your hands.
