Ludwig http://www.parentingbytrialanderror.com/?p=2410 I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season, whatever you celebrate.

As for us, we’re in the middle of a blizzard out here in the middle of nowhere, U.S.A. Rather cozy, at this point, though I’m sure cabin fever will strike eventually. We’re all nestled in and have had a nice, relaxing day doing not much of anything. All the Christmas gatherings for the next couple days have been postponed due to outdoor conditions.

Happy holidays to you and yours!

Warmly,

Sarah

Ludwig http://parentingbytrialanderror.wordpress.com/?p=101 We had our first snow today, forecasted to turn into a full-fledged blizzard. Logan went outside for a while as the flakes started falling, and when he came back in, I asked him if the snow was coming down hard.

“It’s coming down really fast, so it’s like a miracle,” he told me seriously, in the way that kids so often do, innocently reminding us jaded adults that everyday events truly are miracles.

Sometimes all it takes to rediscover the beauty and magic all around us is a 4-year-old’s unbiased observations.

How has your child shown you the simplicity and wonder of normal events that adults so often overlook?
