Blossoms

We walked toward Broadway. I held both of their hands and we chatted about the silly kids and school. I looked up and I saw it. The big tree. I stopped them.

I knelt down next to them and said, Look at it. Look at the tree. And they saw it and smiled. What does it have all over it?

Middle Girl was quick to answer, Flowers!

I told them there was another word for these flowers.

Blossoms! Big Girl said.

Let's take a picture, okay?

And we did. We took a picture.

Do you ever think it is our duty to help our kiddos notice things? Or is it that they are really helping us notice things?
