Feeling a little flat, so went walking with Miss 2.
There is something very relaxing about walking with a toddler. Some people get frustrated at their exploratory pace: "look, leaf!", "look, leaf!".
These kids are hurried, bustled and carried, and the parents really miss out.
I learned to slow down watching a lovely Mum with her youngest. It might take 20 minutes to walk 80 metres from the classroom to the carpark, but what a wondrous time.
Miss 2 loves saying "heno" (hello) to people on the path, touching the gravel, looking at ants, leaves, and things so small I can't see them.
She is my little miracle, and I treasure these walks. They lower my blood pressure, and remind me to smell the dandelions.
Enjoy your day!
