E loves to take time to smell the flowers on our walks. Sometimes her dilly-dallying makes me a bit crazy but really, what smells better than spring-time flowers? It is amazing to watch the world from a child's perspective. Everything is wonderful and amazing. Our slow meandering walks are good reminders to me to just enjoy the wonderful creation outside of our doors.
E is very disappointed that the tulips are all gone but she's decided that the iris smells pretty good too. Plus, they are so top-heavy that she keeps busy trying to stand them back up.
Although truth be told, her favorite activity is watering the flowers versus smelling the flowers. It is too bad that it hasn't been warm enough to play in the water for a week or so. She's anxious to get back to her 'splashin' table that she got for her birthday that has been sitting waterless for a week now.
Take a lesson from E and slow down for a few minutes and take some time to smell some flowers today...just make sure that there isn't a bee hiding it in when you do so!

no kidding - a sting to the nose takes the fun right out of it. I also have had to slow myself down and try to enjoy things through my kids eyes, which is so much harder than it seems.
