Pretty Fabulous

I wanna just say that kids are weird.
Their ideas are...incredibly unique.
Their shame is non-existent.
And their limits are, too.

For that, I think they're pretty fabulous.

Kids see the world in the most fun ways.
Because the world is fun.
And none one has yet to convince them otherwise.

Anything can happen or be achieved.
Anyone can be anything, so long as they are willing to.

Kids are are inspiring in their ability to be happy.
Kids can get excited by anything.
Seriously.

Within the last week John and I decided we would start drinking only water at dinner.
Mostly, the response from the kids has been 'oh, darn'...or, as they would say lately, 'oh, rats!'.
But a day or two ago Bub let his ultimate kid shine through.

Here he is.  Stirring his milkshake.

Oh, you can't see a milkshake in his cup?

Well, 'really' it's water.

But not if you ask Bub.

It's a milkshake.  He was happily confident that it wasn't water, but a milkshake in his cup.  Maybe I thought it was water but really, it was a milkshake.

The kid was pretty awesome before, but, for me, this took it to a whole new level.
A level of optimism and confidence.  And, to boot, a level of playing with the rules of perception and reality.
And, yes, he was doing that.  He just didn't approach it with the same self-aggrandising attitude that us adults tend to. 

Like I said.  Kids are Fabulous.

At least, mine are.:)






Also included, obligatory pictures of the other two doing the same thing...so they would get their picture taken, too.
