I’m still amazed by the everyday things that my children see as fascinating. The mundane, the unnoticed or even the irritations in my life, which elicit gasps and wonder from them. We had one such occurrence last week. It was the weekend, and a cold one. Which meant frost. Which to me means heating on a bit higher and scraping the car when we go out. Which to Boo meant the garden looked magical and she had to get out there.
I don’t think she’s ever dressed so early (voluntarily) in her desperation to be outside exploring her wintry world.
She loved it, though she wasn’t out there for long (it was cold!), as she carefully crept around pointing out all of the plants covered in frost to me, and ‘wow, look at my trampoline, it’s all frozen!’. I do appreciate her taking the time to show me the world through her eyes, as it is often so much nicer than I see it. Thanks, Boo.
I love the footprints in the frost – I can’t tell if they are paw prints or welly ones. #MagicMoments
Paw prints 🙂
The garden does look absolutely beautiful covered in frost doesn’t it? It takes me AGES to put on Z’s coat and boots unless he wants to go out 🙂
She was quick as a flash!
Children seem to naturally be full of optimism and hope, which are great for us parents to be reminded of x
Absolutely. Lovely reminders
So very true! They do have a lovely view on the world and it’s so nice to share in their fascination sometimes.
Exactly 🙂
It’s true, seeing the works through your children’s eyes is magical and gives you that gentle nudge to remember to enjoy the moment. I love the children’s joy at frost-my eldest had great fun riding to school this morning on the frosty grass.
Glad it was an enjoyable school run & lovely to think it’s such an every day thing that brightens their moods 🙂
So sweet, sounds like she was in awe of it. We were marvelling at the frost this morning on the school run 🙂 It really is the littlest most simple things that can make a small child’s day isn’t it #MagicMoments
It really is. Just lovely x
Another frosty morning here today. My kiddos have a tendency to come running downstairs shouting “snow, snow”, then go “oh it’s frost”, but two minutes later they’ve forgotten their disappointment and see the magic in it. It’s fun to watch their excitement!
Ah, that is sweet!
awww honey what a super thing to do. i often forget the magic that is the world through my childrens eyes.
thanks for linking up with #MagicMoments
It’s little moments like this that are for stopping and enjoying, I think. Thanks for hosting xx
I love this picture, she is gorgeous! I love how we see things with a renewed enthusiasm through the eye’s of our children xx
It’s all new & exciting through their eyes. And thank you 🙂
Frost always looks so magical!! It was really frosty here this morning my girls thought it was great! x
It does, doesn’t it? Very pretty x
Beautiful little one x
Thank you x
I love the excitement of the world through their eyes too. Trying to put on our own socks is causing a lot of excitement in this house at the moment! Reminds us not to be so jaded in our view of the world 🙂
Ah, the excitement of socks!
Now that’s neat too that she even notices !! I’d have been quite enthralled at her reaction too.
It was lovely to see. Makes you stop and notice these things.
What a wonderful post Jocelyn. I just love seeing the world through the little ones eyes, something rather magical about it. Adorable photo of Boo she looks so excited by those footprints – or the fact her trampoline is frozen. Just fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing with #whatsthestory
Thank you. She was excited just being out there, on it, in it! Thanks for hosting x
You’re so right about the magic of seeing the world through our children’s eyes – having Tibbons really makes me stop and look at things anew – or stop and look at things full stop – I always used to be in such a hurry to get to where I was going I wouldn’t take the time to absorb my surroundings! A lovely post, and I hope neither you nor Boo got too cold out there!
Yes, they certainly make you stop! It is nice to do so, and slow down every once in a while. Thank you x
I think that’s one of the best things about children… the wonderful way they see things and how they can see excitement and magic where we see cold and wintry! #magicmoments
Absolutely – they’re so much wiser than us adults sometimes!
I love it when kids go exploring. Our trampoline is covered in leaves as well as frost at the mo
It’d look even more magical in frost then!
Awww bless her that is very cute 🙂
Thank you 🙂
What a beautiful photo, the light is gorgeous! x
Thank you very much x
That’s so lovely. I confess though that I’m still a bit of a kid on frosty days and point out cobwebs and plants to the children who luckily humour my enthusiasm!
Oh, yes, I do love a frosty cobweb!
