The world of little people...

Growing up my next sibling was 5 almost 6 years older than me. My days were with just my Mom. I remember going on field trips with Heidi's fourth grade class to metor crater and to the state capital with Tim when he was in the 8th grade. I think about my young childhood and try to compare it to my children's world now. They are so different. For me this is the first time I have ever been in a world that is completely determined by little people. I was the only little person growing up. I don't think I determined much of anything. I was the tag a long.

I am not really trying to make a point or share a deep thought just an observation about my world. I live in a little persons world totally for the first time. I got glimpses of it when I would be at friends houses growing who were  not the youngest and had siblings closer to their age. Bath times for everyone, filling glasses only up a fourth of the way, the Lion King on all day, and a house covered in multiple children's toys. I always thought it was strange and chaotic. I was used to basketball games in the evening and grocery shopping with my mom, not a little kids world. My mom might remember it differently.

Someday I will have big kids, then teenagers, then they will be gone. I guess that's how it works. I am enjoying my little peoples world. I hope it doesn't fly by in a blur of diapers and Disney movies.

  1. We didn't watch Lion Kind ALL day...sometimes we watched Aladdin, too, ha ha...but it is interesting how we all go through different phases of life. Hope you are enjoying your kids. They sure are cute :).
