When and why do we lose the amazement and determination we have as a child? Having a baby has really made me wonder about this a lot lately. I love to see that look in her eyes when she sees something for the first time.
And why does our self esteem plummet? I mean kids will tell you they are going to be an astronaut or become a Dr. or even president. Do we do it to ourselves or do we let peoples negative comments take root and grow subconsciously in our minds?
When does running and jumping go from playing to exercise? And simple things become dreaded chores. I don't know about you, but every year the Christmas decorating becomes something I dread doing at first. I know in time it will be more fun when Pebbles gets older, but why do I not find it fun now?
When did I go from being carefree to uptight?! Why do I find music I used to listen to very LOUD these days? Did I grow out of it or am I getting old?
Why do we quit things so fast as adults? Like jobs and marriage.
Kids will try something over and over again...like walking for the first time.
At what age do all of these transitions take place, and how do I keep it from stealing the joy and innocence from my daughter?
* I know I'm thinking deep tonight, but let me know your thoughts.
