The Eyes Of A Child


Small things make such a difference to small kids.....  I used to point out to Steven and Peter whenever we saw something that might interest them when we were driving.  I still point things out to them, but they don't care so much anymore.  Yesterday we were driving out in farm country - yeah, I know we live in farm country, but Amish farming is very different from "English" farming.  So, anyway, as I said we were driving and I saw a Crop Duster. 

Look, Zach, a plane!

Of course, just then, it flew below the tree line and he could not see it.  Pete and I were then on the look out so we could show Zach that low-flying plane.  Finally we turned the right corner, and there it was.  It even turned around to make another pass across the field right over our car!!!  Zach thought the noise was REALLY loud.  Then we saw it drop it's load while flying low across the field.  The big boys have seen this sight several times, although I still think it's kind of cool to watch.  It was Zach's first crop duster- guess they don't see them much in China. 

I love watching firsts through the eyes of a child.
