Fresh-Squeezed

First I said “no.”

Then I said “yes.”

 

Because really, what harm can come from your kid squeezing his own orange juice?  Yes, it was late, and they probably should have been brushing their teeth . . .

. . . but I’ve been reading this book.  And this book is reminding me that life is all about discovering and exploring, especially when you are a child and everything is still so fresh.

So I am trying to say “yes” a little more often.

And trying to remember that my children learn about life by trying it out.

And if I don’t let them try it out . . .

 

I will undoubtedly miss some of those fresh-squeezed moments in life that just . . . happen.
