Have you ever just watched little ones be in their bodies? I love to see the shear, unencumbered joy of it. They live in their bodies, in the moment so naturally. I’ll admit it–I’m jealous. To have such confidence and unselfconsciousness in one’s body–it’s something I strive for, but. . . let’s just say it is a lifetime journey. But my babes are wonderful teachers. Moment ago L4 called me into her room saying, “Mama, you have to come see me valance!” (If she concentrates she can say balance correctly, but most of the time she just doesn’t care.) This is what I saw:
That’s my four-year-old, balancing on the chair rail in her bedroom. The images have me floating on a cloud of happy.
Such a gorgeous little yogini! I especially like her active, shining toes!
