A Year of Stories – Always Making Wishes

I’m not sure what draws kids to dandelions, but M can not go past one of these flowers without picking it. If it is full of seeds, then she is making a wish as she blows them all over the yard. If they are blooming, then she can be found picking as many as she can to make a mini bouquet. Usually as a gift for me. I adore watching the wonder in her as each flower is a new discovery. With kids it really is the simple the things that bring them so much joy.
