Trenton's world: Life is sweet

Life is sweet

Life is sweet. Sometimes bittersweet, but really it is mostly sweet. I just have to take a second look. Three year old boys really know how to take the adult perspective and flip-flop it upside down. Trenton shows me the sweetness of life daily.

I am blessed. Beyond what I deserve. I have amazing family all around me, friends who would do anything for me, the most wonderful boy, a God who loves me-despite me- and privileges beyond. I can't say that this life isn't filled with challenges, but if I have these things I know that my life is sweet. Each sunrise, sunset, rainy day, helping hand, encouraging word, hug, kiss, snuggle from the dog, laugh with friends, good food with family, and of course crazy dance around the house with my three year old (like no one is watching) reminds me that this life is good. I hope tomorrow I am reminded again...and again, and again.

Trentonism's

I have a small following of people who love to hear of Trenton's view on the world. For the most part I think his naive three year old view is inspiring (for a lack of a better word).

3/21/11:

I told Trenton that we were having friends over for dinner. He asked who, so I told him the list of people. His whole face light up, he threw his hands in the air and did a big circle all while saying "Those are my most favorite people in the whole unicorn!" I laughed and said "Did you mean universe?". Trenton looked at me and said , "No...I meant unicorn!"

10/11/10:

Today as we were leaving the grocery store (we had to get butter to makes cookies, because making cookies together is the best way to make a hard day better!)..anyways back to leaving the grocery store. As we were leaving we were walking through the parking lot, hand in hand, and he looks up at the dusky sky and says "Mommy!" I of course was wondering what cool car he was going to point out and replied "Yes Trenton?!" He then goes on to say "Mommy, it's the moon. It's the kind of moon where the man can sit in it!" I had to look up and process what he was telling me. As I looked into the sky I realized he was describing the crescent moon. :) It made me smile. It was not simply a crescent moon, but a moon the man could sit in.
