Seeing the World Through A Child's Eyes

Abe is getting better at assimilating information from all five senses. He will suddenly stop to listen to the sound of a dog barking, squat down to get a better look at the ants crawling in and out of cracks in the sidewalk, and he takes great delight in running sand through his hands. For the first time in years, I have been getting down and playing in the grass, peering at an anthill or poking at a baby frog with him. Just doing those simple things had helped me to remember what it's like to see the world through the eyes of a child.
