I learned something from my Grandma years ago. Something that at the time I didn't realise the impact of. My oldest son was a little boy. We were dressed to go to town and he was in his normal mischivous mood. On the way to the car he jumped both feet first rite into the mud puddle in the drive way I had just told him to walk around. When I started fussing at him for getting mud all over him.. my Grandma started laughing and said... "Awl.. let him. Mud puddles are too much fun for a little one to walk by. They are only little for a short while" And then while looking rite into my still not so happy face she told me, "Enjoy them now while they are stepping on your toes, cause one day they'll step on your heart." I've learned now.. as that same little boy has almost reach adulthood how very rite she was. My heart wishes for the days of stepped on toes.
