Catching Water

Wow, it is the most amazing thing to witness first hand your child making connections to the world around them. They grow from these little things that just need milk and sleep, to a baby who is curious about the world around them. It was one of these moments last Thursday night when Randy and I both were giving Maddox a bath. We were having fun and we noticed that Maddox was running his fingers through the water. It wasn't a big deal but a closer look revealed that he was trying to catch the water with his hands. Again and again his hand slid through the water, trying to grasp the liquid water that just flowed through his fingertips. His expression was perplexing, his actions were demanding. He really was trying to figure this out. Naturally he is to young to understand that water is a liquid and not something you can catch with your hand but he was really trying to understand why. Although he will not understand the concept quite yet he's building that piece that will help him realize one day..."aha" and understand the concept of what water is. It was such a magical moment, I LOVE being a mom to Maddox.
