His big, gorgeous eyes light up.
A huge grin shows his deep dimples.
As my 3 year-old declares, “It’s MAGIC!”
Whether it’s the automatic doors opening at the grocery store or the stars in the sky or cookies appearing after a shopping trip he didn’t know I made, my youngest is quick to explain it all by saying “It’s magic.”
He takes such joy in commonplace events. He sees the beauty in the every day. The magic.
No need for explanations as to how things happen or why.
He sees what’s around him and delights in it.
Too young to be jaded.
Not too busy to notice the every day magic.
I think I was like that once.
I think we all were.
I wonder when we lose it.
I wonder if we can start to see the magic in the every day again.
beautiful!
I am still amazed at the whole automatic door opening thing. I swear I could run in and out with my kids all day long too! It does seem like magic, doesn’t it?
Except last night at about 10 pm when I learned that you can actually lock those automatic doors. And that your grocery cart will make a really fantastic crash against them when they don’t open as expected. I thought I had lost my magic 🙁
only time I have been glad to have to still have that post-babies “air bag” in my midsection – LOL
Love it!
I swear there are so many times when I am jaded that I LONG for simpler ways. I think I am going to take my kid for some simple fun this weekend and have a blast.

So sweet!! We should all become childlike in how we all things in life.
That age is so much fun! My oldest is 7 and he still sees the magic in certain things, and I hope he always does.
The magic of the small children definitely helps us look at the world differently, too. I think we start to lose that about the time we start to accept responsibilities. It’s too bad we can’t seem to have both.
