I think back to spring as a child and remember blowing dandelion puffs, endlessly throwing helicopters in the air and digging worms out of my dads garden beds. These are all things that were countless hours of fun. As an adult I see weeds multiplying in my lawn, my gutters clogged with those little helicopters and the trees that will eventually sprout and require pulling up when they seed. There is also the mulch I just put down getting thrown everywhere because my kids don’t want to dig in the garden I left for them, its more fun to dig in the ones that have been planted.

I hate that all those wonderful childhood memories turn into such a nuisance as an adult. I do love watching the hundreds of little helicopters spiraling through the air but then they have to land and spoil it for me. It would be so nice to always be able to see things through a child’s eyes. I think that is why I love writing Internet Toddler so much, its nice to see things through they eyes of my kids and regress to to a time when life wasn’t so complex.

The picture is of the tons of helicopters on the roof, this isn’t even a drop in the bucket of how many of these things we have covering the property.
