Today, I made a new goal. It started by listening to the Brite CD's with my kids, which are a favorite of our family. (A must have, in my opinion.) In one of the songs, it talks about how you are unique: you're walk, you're smile, even your laugh. My son said, "Mom, what does my laugh sound like?" I wished at that moment that I could have whipped out a tape of his laugh and played it for him because it's such a magic sound....the laugh of a child. And have you ever noticed how a child's laugh changes? The true, pure, childlike laughter doesn't stay around forever. In the book Peter Pan, it says, "When the first child laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies." I believe it. A child's laughter truly is magic, like fairies and flying and pixie dust.
I made a goal to make my children laugh everyday. To truly make them laugh and have enough time to laugh with them and to capture that sound in my mind and heart forever. Because, as Peter Pan would say, "I don't wanna grow up."
Best friends
