We were told many things as parents who were expecting a baby. There was only one thing I actually 1 " You are going to learn the most important things from your 2," we were told.
There are only a few 3our boy can say. After "momma" and "daddy", "more" is probably the word he uses most, and 4 anything from fun to food. By far his most important and 5 used expression is "wow". He only says "wow" when something really 6 him.
We recently spent the night at our friends 'house. They only had one extra room so we 7our bed and the baby's cot (婴儿床) in the same room. I slept well but 8up too early and couldn't get back to sleep. I was 9 my day, a Sunday, and all the jobs that I needed to do. 10 of them was going to be much fun.
I heard my child made a 11 He rolled over, opened his eyes and let out a cheerful "wow". Suddenly. I learnt something.
Despite everything I've learnt about "good thoughts", "looking on the 12 side" an "taking it a day at a time", I woke up feeling 13. This little boy, with no 14 , was at the place I've been seeking for. To wake up in the morning, take a look at the world, and say "wow" is probably as close to 15 as a person could ever get.
I'm sure our child will 16 wake up, as most of us do only to say "oh no". I wish I knew what I could do to 17 this happening. I wish he could 18 me the way he sees things now.
If only we could make ourselves 19 what it takes to open our eyes in the morning, see that we are alive in a 20 world and say "wow".
