"To show a child what once delighted you, to find the child's delight added to your own - this is happiness." J. B. Priestley
Becoming a mother has opened up doors and deep emotions I never thought were possible. And some of the finer moments of this journey, are the ones when little Miss B's eyes open wide in pure amazement and delight. Like the first time we took her to Disneyland and her eyes were wide as she took in all the fun things going on around her. Or every time we sing along and dance around the house. Or when we blow bubbles and she giggles as she tries to catch and eat them all.
A child's amazement to the small things in life is amazing and makes motherhood all the more rewarding. The tantrums, the screaming, the kicking, the throwing...all is wiped away clean when I see that sweet face light up and smile. I can't even tell you the number of times I've caught both myself and the Mr just staring and smiling at her in awe. I hope she never loses that amazement, that wonder, that delight. It's a beautiful thing.
