This post comes to you as part of Sian's ‘Storytelling Sunday’ over at ‘From High In The Sky’. Do pop over & check out some more of the stories on offer!
What seems like a lifetime ago, I had two very small boys! At the time of this story Alex was just three & Nathan was a baby of six months.
This particular spring day
I was driving the boys
home from playgroup &
we were queuing in traffic
alongside a grassy space,
covered in daffodils all in
full bloom & bobbing
about in the breeze.
Alex was gazing out of the car window, so I said “look at all those daffodils dancing. Do you think they’re having a party?”. To which he replied ”I think so, but I wonder which one’s birthday it is?!”
I was so glad that we were stationary in traffic as I was able to lean across & give him a big hug there & then!
Don’t you just love how children see life as so uncomplicated?!
Thanks for stopping by & do come back soon

Yes, the simplicity and joy they see in any given situation is fantastic!
Indeed it is wonderful, and they are obsessed with birthdays aren't they!
I think my daughter is just coming out of that stage - she is now just as likely to say 'don't be silly Mom daffodils don't have parties - they can't eat jelly and ice-cream'.
Aw bless how lovely that he had such a great thought and shared it.
Wonderful idea birthdays are a good thing to celebrate. Love daffodils and got some for my birthday yesterday :)
So often their comments make you want to give them a big hug.
Of course you know I am a complete sucker for a gorgeous little blond like that, especially one with plenty of fun things to say! This is a lovely story and it put a smile on my face this morning
What a delightful to say and how glad I am that you've recorded it!
What a cute story! When you are that age, birthdays are a huge deal so it would have been an important question to ask.
Aww what a sweet story and such an adorable photo.
awww what a cutie...I want mine to be that small again!
Oh, that's gorgeous :) Made me smile!
that is super cute I do miss some of the funny things that the children said when they were younger and just wish I had written them all down!
Hi Sandi,
What a wonderful story… It reminds me of my childhood years when my grandma and I would go in the forest to get some. My favorite flowers…
Children have such a cute way of looking at things. It's priceless.
Have a nice Sunday,
Cheers from France
How lovely...I love the things that little ones come away with!

That is so wonderful! I will think of that every time I see daffodils blowing in the wind now!
so glad you could get to him for a hug! Adorable boy with an adorable thought :)
What a smart boy, so quick thinking. He is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing that moment with us.
Aaawwww bless, what a sweetheart
What a gorgeous field of daffodils. I'm glad you took the time to photograph them. They are indeed dancing!
How sweet! Aren't little boy comments so cute!
If we could all continue seeing the world the way we did as small children - full of wonder and delight and amazement - the world would be a much nicer place!
Yes, I love that kids usually seen things through optimistic eyes; we need to do that more often too.
What a darling story and such a cute picture.
That is so sweet, it's lovely to see things through a child's eyes.
