Things I have learned from my son:

Every morning wake up excited for another day of living
Everything is full of awe and wonder everywhere
Smiling at strangers brings everyone joy
Bright colors and patterns are interesting
It’s okto not like someone and have no reason
Naps are essential
Staring at each other is an activity
Doing nothing is everything
Food is good
Taste everything before you decide if you like it
Going down with the sun and up with the sun is a perfect rhythm
Rest is our natural state, so is play
Whatever happened yesterday is done, today is a fresh day
Sometimes we just need to be held and nothing more
Our natural state is joy and peace we only fuss when we need something
We can get excited to see someone we just saw five minutes ago
Nature is the perfect amount of stimulation and calming at the same time
99% of communication is nonverbal
You can smile with your whole body
Emotions are not to be suppressed, they are to be expressed and then let go
Don’t worry about other peoples needs, express your own and let them decide what to do
It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks just do what pleases you
It’s ok to be dirty, and messy
We have all the entertainment we need within our own body
We don’t need much to be happy, just each other
Thank you son, for making everything so perfectly clear and right.
I love you beyond measure.
