My grandson Austin is the coolest two year old.
Admittedly, I'm a wee bit biased, but really. He is the coolest.
He's smart, funny, energetic - and quick to say, "I sowwy."
And like most two year olds (and little ones in general), he's a great imitator.
I was impressed with Austin and his "camera" at his cousins' graduations earlier this month. He was a mini version of the rest of us taking photos - sizing up the opportunity, focusing through the viewfinder, and finally confirming the capture.
So cute, but it stopped me momentarily in my tracks. It was a clarion reminder of my "mimi" responsibility to model speech and behavior worthy of emulating.
It's a responsibility we've inadvertently wrongly placed on them.
"Be careful little ears what you hear."
Sobering.
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come. ~ Psalm 71:17-18

He is just too adorable - don't you LOVE that age! Well, I love all the ages, lol, I keep saying THIS is my favorite until the next one comes, then THAT is my favorite.
Very important reminder to be careful what we model!
Pat, how sweet! I look forward to hearing what our Nathaniel will have to say and what his interests will be. It is so true that we are the ones responsible for what they hear and see at so young an age. You said it so beautifully. Again.
So true.If we as adults lived the way God wants us to,the little ones would have great examples.I see a photographer in the making here.Very precious.
Oh, Patricia, he is such a handsome little fellow! Hopefully he will grow up with the same awe and wonder of God's creation that you have. That would be a very fun thing to have in common with a grandson.
Yes...we do have to be careful what we model for those adorable grandchildren and yes, he is adorable. I am surrounded this week by Gavin (2), Briggs (2) and Branson (3). What a wonderful time we are having playing, loving, and learning to share!!! LOL! There is nothing on this earth better than this!
Miss Patricia, first of all, thank you for always showing up just when I need a boost.
And secondly, I recently gave my 7-year old my first digital camera. He is good. And he pays attention to details like sunshine and smiles.
(by the way, I have a thing for fence posts too...)
Blessings.
