Toddlers live a carefree, clothes-free life of joy

Thank You! I needed a laugh today. My twin daughters just turned 3 and I agree I would love to live the life they have. Not only do the get to jump naked on the trampoline, they have 3 adoring older sisters who laugh at an encourage every move they make so there is never a dull moment at our house. I enjoy just sitting back and enjoying every moment of discovery and joy on their little faces especially when their musical toilet starts singing to let us know of another great accomplishment in the life of a toddler.

It is not possible to read this and not have an instant smile on your face. Oh, the simple joys of life seen through a child's eyes!

I LOVED this! The look of joy on a little ones face is priceless and your job as a mom is to celebrate her joy and help her learn to have joy her whole life. It changes from running naked through the sprinkler and applause in the bathroom to teaching her to give service, be a good friend, learn something new, love her family and make choices that will bring her peace. This means you have to find joy in life so she will see that the way you want her to live will truly make her happy.

I love your columns! Makes me think.
