Through a Child’s Eyes

Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary can be fun, if you make it that way.

Taking a toddler on a car trip can be a bit challenging. You build in stops and look for everything possible to point out along the way. Moving clouds take on interesting shapes. “Hey, that looks like a big ball of cotton; it looks like a snow mountain.” The sun going down prompts some keen examining and discussion of a sky streaked with pale oranges and lavender. Those motorcycles whizzing by scream out vavoom, vavoom.

Rachel giggles at my imitation of their sound. That keeps her going for a couple of minutes as I intermittently jerk my head around with a surprise shout of VOOM!

I invite you to continue reading  my guest post over at Be More With Less, a wonderful blog on living simply.

I’d love to hear some examples of your ways of creating memorable and fun moments out of what seems like chores or ordinary nothingness.
