Hey there! You know, even though my little buddy, Lily, has only been in the world for a year, she’s already dishing out some serious life lessons. Here are a few gems she’s taught me:
- Celebrate Your Wins: After every bite of food, give yourself a round of applause. Make sure everyone else joins in too—because who doesn’t love a good cheer for eating?
- Wave Like You Mean It: Don’t just save your waves for friends. Wave at every stranger you see! Don’t forget to wave at your own reflection, that cute dog on the street, and even that flower painting hanging on the wall. Spread the joy!
- Marvel at Your Body: Seriously, have you taken a good look at your fingers? They’re fascinating! And toes? Don’t even get me started! Maybe even offer a little nibble to your nearest friend. They’ll love it, trust me.
- Kisses with Enthusiasm: When you give a kiss, go all out! The more slobber, the better.
- Dance Anywhere, Anytime: Music or no music, just dance! Forget waiting for someone to watch; dance until they can’t help but notice.
- Dogs Are Hilarious: Spot a dog? Point and giggle! They’re the funniest creatures, and you never know when you’ll see one again.
- Big Grins Always: Smile wide, even if your mouth is full or you’re missing a few teeth.
- Revisit Your Favorites: If you love a book, read it over and over again—until it’s memorized. And then keep reading it! Great reads deserve a second and third look.
- Skip the Yucky Stuff: If a food isn’t tasty, just spit it out. Life’s too short for bad flavors!
- Surprise Hugs: Give unexpected hugs. You never know who might really need a little love.
- Redecorate on a Whim: Couch pillows? Better on the floor. That tidy stack of laundry? Definitely needs to be on the ground.
- Peek-a-Boo is Life: Remember, life is just a game of peek-a-boo. I see you!
- Pick Your Friends and Your Nose: You can decide who to be close with and have some fun while doing it.
- Own Your Body: Stick that belly out proudly! Flaunt those cute rolls in a skirt.
- Never Give Up: Even if you’re pulled away from that tempting dog food, crawl right back when no one’s looking. Persistence is key!
So, next time life throws you a curveball, channel your inner toddler and maybe just toss those lemons on the floor. They’ve got some serious wisdom to share!
