Seeing Through The Eyes Of Children

I love seeing things through the eyes of children. They have such a different view on the world than most adults do. I went on a field trip with my son today to a nature preserve. I love that my schedule lets me do things like that.
It’s fun to be able to join my son with his classmates, and to see the world through their eyes. They find beauty in the simplest things. One of the little girls in our group had some rocks in her hand and she asked me if I’d like to take a look at them.
When she first showed the stones to me, I just saw four rocks. Then she told me why the rocks were special. After she told me about them I saw them in a competely different way. One had a unique texture, another was shaped like a pyramid, and a third one “sparkled like diamonds.”
Whenever I’m around kids I come up with tons of writing topics, just seeing things through their eyes inspires me to look at things differently. Have you looked at things through your child’s eyes lately?
