What lessons in life have you learned from children?

I recently had a wonderful experience with my toddler at the park. He made us take our shoes off and I really believe he knew that his parents needed to get grounded. He reminded us of the importance of slowing down and feeling the earth with your bare feet. I wrote a blog entry about it if anyone is interested in reading the short story. http://freespiritknits.blogspot.com/

Read your blog. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time on Earth. GFY (good for you)!!!

innocence, curiosity, love, patience...my character and personal attributes are always being challenged to the point of new growth with children.

I have learned to have patience.

There are no stupid questions. Everyone can be nice. Ice cream can fix almost anything.

even if you fall or something bad happens you say ouch and get back up and smile! best advice EVER!!

" A fairy came to me in my dream , dali and told me that you are the most beautiful fairy in the forest.! My niece told me this age 4. She has also taught me how to love by stretching the limits of my patience, by letting me see that I can do so much better and by loving me completely and unconditionally always. She has also let me rediscover my own inner child. I think children are the best teachers on earth.

be real.

"You never make a fool of yourself if you're trying." Nicholas, age 4 "Life is all about mud puddles. You jump in and you get dirty, but the dirt comes off and then its OK." Alex, age 5 and also these: hugs really do make things better there's always time to enjoy something beautiful/interesting keep trying 'till you get it right 'cause then you can celebrate

My little Edie is 8 months and yesterday she spent close to an hour playing with a sock and a plastic container full of dried legumes. We don't have much, but over the few months she's been you know alive she's taught me you don't need a lot to make yourself happy.

Go for it!
