Just some things that I have learned from my Little Buddy recently that I think we should practice the rest of our lives. And we think we know more than they do. Ha!
· Eat the foods you like and eat them happily, making a mess and such is understood.
· No matter how long you have been away from home, cheer with a hearty, "Ta-Da!" when the car pulls back in the driveway.
· Hold a cuddly toy when you are feeling lonesome or insecure (imagine how many adults would do it if it were acceptable).
· When you are in an open field run like the wind and if you fall, make sure to laugh and get right back up and keep going.
· Take time to notice all the tiny wonders in life like ants carrying crumbs, apple seeds on the floor, wildflowers, etc.
· Hug and kiss all relatives and friends each time you see them.
· Splash whenever possible.
· Share toys with friends even when you don't want to.
· Sit close to someone you love when you are sick or hurting.
· Dance and sing often and with great enthusiasm.
· View cookies, hugs, and cartoons as the best parts of your day.
· Sleep when you are tired and play when you are awake.
· Ask lots of questions, be curious and do lots of exploring.
· Laugh at farts and burps always, they ARE funny.
· Ask for tickles when you need it.

Just found your blog through A Sense of Humor is Essential and had to comment! Ilove love this list. How sweet and how true. I enjoyed reading through your blog:)
What great advice! Sometimes I have to take a step back and learn from my kiddies. It makes life worthwhile (though I've never liked to be tickled...it's more annoying then fun for me!)
Great post!
This is so adorable! What a sweet reminder to be more child-like. And I love the picture of the hands.
What's your email now? I tried to send to your old one and it wouldn't go through! Let me know! Thanks!
I adore this, dear Val!! Thank you so much and please can I email it to my fellow peds nurses at work?
I am printing this out to post at my desk, I am so appreciative.
Thanks All!
It is amazing how when we mature we actually become so much less real than when we are kids. Maybe we even tend to look too closely at much of life as we age?
Absolutely Martha! Feel free to share with whoever will appreciate and/or benefit :)
