first gift
After returning from his Pre K class yesterday, Aidan walked up carefully holding a little box that he decorated. He explained that this box was very special and should contain only objects that he loves. He spent the next hour walking around the house and yard attempting to fill his box with beautiful objects. Among the things that he collected were a blue butterfly wing, a small purple flower, an even smaller white bloom, and some deep green berries taken from the monkey grass. It was soon time for a nap. Feeling exhausted, I decided to lay down with Aidan hoping that everyone would need to rest as much as I did. Aidan soon began to "fix" my hair. When finished, he opened the little jewel box, picked out the purple flower, and carefully placed it in my hair. He then handed the box to me with the sweetest look on his face and said that I should have it. I suppose it is just striking how a child can so purely love and give without feels of obligation...
