“As a mother you give birth, but in return, I find that children give us life too. So it’s give and take.”
“How does your son give you life?”
“He’s three and a half, so he’s learning about the world around him that I take for granted. Now, I get to see how he reacts and learns from the world around him, and it makes me appreciate the world around myself even more. It’s really anything — from language and building his vocabulary to learning different sounds, sights, and smells. He’ll stop somewhere and be like, ‘Wow! I smell something…’ It’s like the child’s version of stop and smell the roses! I think it’s hugely important to acknowledge the little things, I just don’t know that everyone is as good at it as children are. Everything is a new experience. Children really soak it up.”
