Moments with Madison #2

Playing with "trees."

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.
~Angela Schwindt

 

Cuddled with kitty

Its always cozier with a friend.

Walking the Trail

Pausing to listen to an airplane in the sky,

stooping to watch a ladybug on a plant,

sitting on a rock to watch the waves crash over the quayside -

children have their own agendas and timescales. 

As they find out more about their world and their place in it,

they work hard not to let adults hurry them. 

We need to hear their voices. 

~Cathy Nutbrown

Children need the freedom and time to play. 

Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity. 

~Kay Redfield Jamison

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. 

It is to decide forever to have your heart,

 go walking around outside your body. 

~Elizabeth Stone
