365 days project 2: Day 18. Let's be childlike

 

   A child's world is very small. He only knows what he loves: his family, his toys, his buddies at the kindergarten and that's all he needs to be happy. An adult's world is bigger. Way bigger. It involves many responsabilities, wishes, hopes and needs, taxes, parents of his own, kids, a house and so many more. A parent's happiness is always different from that of their child. He eagerly awaits for the night to come and the kids to go to sleep so that he can enjoy some time for himself. But in all this daily rush people forget that every child is a blessing and that we should be thankful for them and learn from them... how to be very honest but also how to give compliments without expecting anything in return, how to love without boundaries, how to ask for what we want until we get it and how to love life without regrets. 

   For kids there's only today. No yesterday and no tomorrow. Let's learn from them and be happy we have them around. They are all little gems that can make our day more beautiful if only we allow them to :)

Day 76. Why we love kids

   I know some people don't like children, so here are some reasons that might make them want to change their mind:

1. Kids remember your name very easily if you make them feel important and you play  funny games with them or if you show affection. Next time they see you, even if some weeks have passed, they will greet you with a joyful voice, calling your name and saying: "You're heeeere, what are we doing today?" 

2. After you've seen them some times and they really know who you are, their first reaction when they see you again is run to you and hug your foot and say "I love youuuuu".

3. They are very honest when expressing their feelings. You can immediately notice if they're sad because they miss mom, angry because someone took their toy, frustrated because you don't allow them to play whenever they want or happy to see you. And when they're happy, they're really happy. 

4. They're clumsy. They often fall from their chair, forget to clap when they should or bump into one another while dancing. But they don't think about people judging them. They laugh and move on:)

5. They're asking funny questions. They want to know everything that happens around them, like: why they can't go in the same bathroom together boys and girls, why their voice is still perfect after shouting so much but their teacher's isn't, etc.

6. They're very intelligent and memorize everything that interests them. And they like to be challenged in showing you what they know.

7. They don't need big presents to be happy. They're more than happy if they receive a colored dot and a praise when they did something right.

   Only two months and a half have passed and I'm sure more reasons are to come:) I realized I couldn't have a better job. I feel complete like this:)
