So today I noticed one of the most wonderful things. My job is in some ways absolutely feeding the natural psychologist in me. These kids are wonderful and they respond with their eyes in ways that let you know exactly what is going on.
Well today, I was sitting on a blanket that covered the playground sand with my two wonderful kids when up walks one little girl. I watch her hesitantly because my kids are too young to really protect themselves and the other girl was too young to understand if she did something wrong.
Well she walks up and all of a sudden starts handing me toys. She was giving me toys for my kids. After she gave me a toy she would scan with her eyes, and try to figure out was missing, and contemplatively run off only to come back with more.
This game went on for ten minutes which in kid time is a lot. This displayed her heart to help and when another little girl came over and started taking away the toys, the first little girl gave me an eye which meant," why are you letting her do something wrong" to which I explained "it's okay _ we have plenty of toys, thank you for all of your help" and asked for a high five. She lit up with the biggest grin, missed my hand the first time, hit squarely the second and that was the end.
Such a precious little girl, and such a wonderful moment. I've come to the conclusion that we are born very much with already being who we are. It is time, people, and experiences that sharpen and shape us into more.
Have a wonderful day!!
