Flowers

Grace has had this thing for flowers for some time now. She will sound out the f sound and struggles to say the rest of the word while doing the sign for flower. We put flowers on the walls of her bedroom and she is constantly trying to say flower during diaper changes. I soak it up as I watch her try so hard to figure out how to say this word.

Her favorite pastime while at her grandparents house is picking the dandelions(flowers) in the front yard. Her Grandpa is happiest when she picks the yellow ones most of all. She will even bring me a hand full and I can't help but smile and tell her thank you. This reminds me of when I was little doing the same thing with by brothers and sister in our front yard on the farm in Wyoming. I love moments like that when I am brought back to good memories so long ago. After all, the past is a part who we each are today, and remind us of what matters most in the moments of each day.
