Lesson 4: 
Look Closely

When you share life with a small child, you notice the small things:  the wonder of a dewdrop, the intricacy of a flower, the prism of a bubble.  You admire the protean flow of clouds as triangles become kitty cats and Tyrannosaurus Rex.  You re - discover that rocks, sticks, and berries are precious treasures.  You look for fairies hidden in secret gardens.  You remember empty paper towel rolls are magic wands and the box or bag is always better than the present.




So look closely and you'll find the world is full of beauty, wonder, potential, and magic.
Stop, look, and smile.
