Stop and Watch the Butterflies

I am always in a rush, I rarely take the time to stop and smell the roses and I need to do this more. Yesterday while walking through California Adventure Sydney wanted to stop and watch the butterflies. She loves looking at flowers and there were several monarch butterflies that she was watching fly around. I could tell she was in her element, I am always pushing her to "hurry" even when it's not necessary. I need to remember to stop and watch the butterflies.

PS Whenever I ask Sydney what she wants to be when she grows up she says "I don't want to grow up, I just want to be a kid" Yesterday, when watching the butterflies she said "Mom, I think when I grown up I want to be a butterfly doctor"......My baby is growing up.

From the mouths of babes come pearls of wisdom. This post brought tears to my eyes and we all need to stop and watch the butterflies more. Thank you and Sydney for the reminder.
