I had the pleasure and awe of being around my powerful
2-year-old grandson, Cord, this week. I forgot the influence a 2-year-old can
wield. We saw running, shouting, tears, laughter, dancing, wonder, jokes,
craziness, obstinance, silliness, smartness, sadness, hilarity, anger,
frustration, and just a little tornado. We witnessed the angelic and the
naughty all in the same breath.
And all the while, he was enveloped by a family that loves
him completely. Only in that kind of love can a little one feel safe to try out
his super powers. Only with that kind of love can a parent, sister, brother,
grandparent, aunty, or uncle tolerate it with amusement and patience - knowing
it is just a little while before he evolves into yet another form of this
amazing little person. Ha ha. What a funny little guy. I guess it's kind of
like God deals with me. He laughs, is amused, is in awe, and gently corrects
when I act like a 2-year old - and I feel safe.
We sure enjoyed our family during the Thanksgiving through
New Year holidays. Sure did!!!!
