There are moments in these adventures of bringing up Benjamin where I really wish I had my camera with me. Those precious, fleeting moments that you watch go by in the blink of an eye, and you wish you had your camera just to capture it to keep it forever. Sometimes the moments are just so much easier explained or retold when you have pictures to go along with your words. Well, today I had my camera during one of those moments. It was a moment of sheer curiosity and pure innocence… the beauty of childhood, the sincerity of a two-year-old’s mind… It stole my heart.

Can’t you just see it starting? He look on his face like “Wow…” The way he’s reaching out like he’s amazed and unsure at the same time.

He stretched his hand out like he was actually holding sunlight, and he was still amazed.

He was talking as he did this. He was saying “Oooh, pretty!” and “Stars!”

That’s right. My sweet, darling boy thought that the specks of dust, positively shining in the stream of sunlight, were tiny stars.

So, today, Benjamin was catching stars in our living room.

And I am so glad I had my camera.
Wow. That is so precious! And your pictures are... perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, that's just sweeter than a honeycomb in a cotton candy factory.
ReplyDeletePrecious!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Maybe he'll keep thinking they are stars and when he gets older you can convince him to wipe them all off the furniture. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolutely PRECIOUS post! I love his expressions!
