Curious George

I just can't believe that Morgan is asleep at 8:00PM and I'm sitting here typing. I didn't really think about what I was going to write today. Not that I plan it out anyway. Well sometimes I do.

Curious George. Is it ok to cry in a children's movie?
I thought it was so great when they realized they were carrying the map around with them the whole time. They just needed to look at it in a different way.

Life sure is like that for me sometimes. The answer I need is right with me but I don't seem to see it. It happens to me with Morgan. This morning Morgan really wanted my attention. I was trying to talk with my own mom on the phone at the time. I hung up the phone. I just stood there and thought, "What is it that I am missing?" I saw these boxes in the kitchen that we had bought on Tuesday at IKEA. I asked Morgan to help me build them. I handed her the finished one and told her to put her smaller toys in it. This took Morgan about an 10 minutes to fill it up. She then took it around the house to try and hide it, go into our room and scare our cat Sara out of the there and put it under the pillows for Mark to find. That was an hour that all I had to do was watch her. Not entertain her. Just appreciate what she was doing. How creative. If I hadn't stopped long enough to look around me I would not have thought of even building one box. I built the other 3 boxes and we cleaned up the toys on the floor of her room. We found a good place to put the boxes and the room was clean all day. When we originally bought the boxes at IKEA that was not what I planned for them. Sometimes the universe has a better plan for you, when you take the time to listen.
