Things that deserve ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶n̶k̶ a discerning eye:

My oldest grandson L, (age 3) is smitten by colour... and I, in turn, am smitten by him (and his mind). 

Currently, he may not pay attention to every instruction or direction from us adults, but he's certainly paying attention to the beauty in this world. 

Thanks for the reminder, young sir.

  2. The colors and the scale of it all... it will be wonderful to see the magic he creates—beauty surrounds us everywhere. Yet our children are the most beautiful thing of all.
    Much love,
    Viola

    1. True. As for what he creates, I have a front row seat and I'm so lucky.

    1. He's a sorter and in this case, both a lumper and a splitter. :)

  9. Selective hearing for adult directions, but 100% focus on all the vibrant colors? Sounds like L has his priorities totally straight! 🎨 It really is a gift when little ones teach us to stop and look at the world with a discerning eye. Such a sweet post!
