I've added a few new features to Musings of a Housewife that I hope will be helpful. Over the weekend I created a Whole Foods Resources page that is a great place to start if you are interested in learning more about the whole foods lifestyle. I also compiled my design tutorials into one convenient location. Both are linked in my nav bar. And there is now a Print Friendly button at the bottom of each post, should you feel like printing recipes or information for future reference. Before printing, you will have the option to delete any photos or content you don't need.
Today we were driving along and passed the farm near our house that often has sheep roaming the fields. A few weeks ago, we noticed several teeny baby lambs, and we always look for them when we drive by.
Today when we went by, the sheep were out. I said to D, “Look at all the sheep out today!”
He took a look and said after a minute, “I don’t see the babies.”
I took another look and realized that in just a few short weeks, those teeny baby lambs had grown and were now just little lambs. So I explained how they had been growing and they aren’t as little as they used to be, that the smaller sheep he saw were those baby lambs. I said, “Don’t you remember how little R was just a few months ago? And now she is a big baby.”
A few minutes went by, and then out of the blue D said, “So are we growing and don’t even know it?”
I said, “Yes! Exactly. You are growing all the time, but it happens so slowly you don’t even notice.” Then I pointed out that we are not all growing, Mommy and Daddy aren’t growing anymore.
He was surprised by this. “Why not?” he asked. I explained that when you get to be a grown-up, you stop growing. He seemed satisfied by this.
Isn’t it funny, though, the things we as adults take for granted, but children don’t realize until we explain it to them. I guess he thought we keep growing forever!
Just a mom attempting to juggle three kids, four blogs, a blog design business, and the laundry.
