From The Eyes Of Children

I just love how babies and children have the ability to make us stop and take notice of things that we would normally pay little to no attention to.

Take yesterday for example, I went into the city to purchase the text books that I need for this semester. Economics - yuk!

Anyhow on the way home I stopped to have Subway for lunch. We were sitting in Subway and Lily was in her pram. She was totally fixed on something and watching it with such intensity. I followed her eyes to where she was looking and she was watching the ceiling fans.

Now normally I would take absolutely no notice to fittings on the ceiling of anywhere, but Lily made me stop and look.

When I looked up I realised they were not just your normal run of the mill, ceiling fans. They were the most gorgeous timber ones with such intricate detail. I would not have taken an ounce of notice if it was not for Lily.

On one hand it made me think why would Subway have gone to the expense for nice ceiling fans when ordinarily nobody would take any notice.
Anyhow I am glad they did as Lily certainly appreciated them.

I am looking forward to the coming years when no doubt Lily will make me stop in my tracks many more times to admire the simple pleasures in life.

I find it amazing the wonder and amazement that babies and children find in the most everyday of tasks and objects. I love that Lily is going to make me stop and appreciate the simple things in life. I think we could all do with paying more attention to those.

In other news, my baby is growing far to quickly. She is now confidently rolling several times a day, and I must say she is quite proud of herself.
Lily also now takes her rattles out of your hands and promptly puts anything she may be holding in her mouth *gasp* I want my iddy witty baby back please!

I will finish this post with some images that are inspiring me today.

I would so love this wall mural in my house, how relaxing!
