Ignacio woke up from his nap and when I came in the room he was facing the opposite direction he fell asleep in and on the opposite end of the crib... meaning that he is scooting around on his belly already. We just went for a walk in park and his little eyes gaze at everything in such a wonderous way...the green grass, tall trees, singing birds and budding flowers. He is quiet and observant just taking it all in. No distraction. How exciting to see things for the first time. No wonder he gets so excited! As I sat on the park bench I too began seeing things through his eyes and rather than name them all for him I just entered his world where nothing has a label yet and it came alive in a new way. As the sun hit his face he began to smile when he once again realized I was at his side. I know I am his mom, but his smile is such a light that really touches everyone he meets. We need more light in the world and for Ignacio in my world I am forever grateful.
