Lessons learned

I ran across this wonderful posting by Steve Olsen today. My favourite is to pay attention to the little things. Liam has this knack for noticing every little speck - if I miss a cherrio on the floor you know he'll be the one to find it.

This got me thinking about all the wonderful ways that Liam has changed my life. Liam has opened my eyes to things that are silly, amazing, perplexing and simply hilarious. I've learned that the way a flower feels is as beautiful as the way it looks, that the noise you make when you blow across and empty bottle is awe inspiring (and difficult for a 10 month old) and that you can have just as much fun with a dish towel as any tickle me elmo doll.
