To be a little child...

Is anyone else baffled when you buy your littles a new toy and instead of playing with said new toy they are more interested in the big box it came in? My boys loves playing with sticks and riding their bikes around the driveway giving each other "tickets" for going too fast which are made of leaves from the bushes. My sister in-law says her daughter loves playing with an empty container filled with rocks. What is it about bubbles that erupts pure joy from any child at any age? It's just soap and water. And yet it's just the simple things in life that our children enjoy. The other day Tyler went outside to spray off the sliding glass windows (the stupid neighbors cats like to spray on it-- gross!) Our boys, especially Zayden, had SO much fun playing on the other side of the glass while Dad was hosing it down. Z was crazy and squealing to his little hearts delight... 

If only we were able to find joy in the little things, as much as they do.
