Through the eyes of a child the Aquarium "Cornerview"









Before I had children, I went to the places like the beach or Disneyland it definitely was a lot easier. There was no whining or crying. No worries of did I pack everything I need such as diapers or wipes. However, it just isn't the same as when you have children. There is a certain magic that children bring with them when going places. Even when they have been many times to a place they see things with a different set of eyes. They find joy in the littlest things. Yesterday, the boys went to the aquarium with Carolin. While I didn't get to go with them,  I was just as happy to hear about how much they enjoyed the aquarium and the new dolphin show. My suggestion is if you don't have a child then borrow one for the afternoon. You will not regret it because your day will be filled with magic.

I am fortunate that my sisters and friends let me borrow their kids. Anything with water makes the inner child in me come out :-) xo

I'd never been to the aquarium before having kids, and although I intensely dislike crowds, there's quite nothing like seeing your child enjoy immensely an experience.

We love aquariums! Top1 always tells lots of stories there (he is a walking encyclopedia), and though Top3 and Top4 do (pretend to) listen, I can tell their minds are racing with stories of their own, about the weird fish and otter sea creatures they see or fantasize about.

I already start to see that each step outside is a kind of little adventure with a toddler... not only for me-packing-everything but for him: WOW the bird! WOW the boot! WOW the truck!

I love aquariums. Although my own child is all grown up, I have child's eyes of my own when I look into those tanks!

I'm still looking through child's eyes when I go to aquarium, zoo or fun park, I'm afraid! I'm still so full of "Ooohs" and "Aaahs" and "Wows"! ;oD
But you're right, lending children even intesifies these feelings. So glad my best friend got a baby now so I will practise being "auntie"! ;o))

Isn't that funny your son has the same t-shirt as my niece? The world we're on is quite a little one! ;o)

Looks like a great time, and that they shared the experience with you as though you were there, really is `through a child`s eyes`!
Happy Love-filled Days!
