Parenthood sure has its ups and its downs. I remember when I was pregnant saying to my husband,

“I have never been happier in my whole life and at the same time I’ve never been more terrified!”

I am sure most parents can relate.  Each day brings with it happiness and worry, laughter and frustration. No matter how a child comes into our life, they change it dramatically, as all parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles know. These tiny little people change who we are and the way we see the world. I mean sure it is chaotic no on can deny that, least of all @tobyandroo, as we can see below!

Through a child’s eyes we notice the little things that as adults we too often forget to notice,

like how magical a bubble is

@mrs_hs_fav_things.

or the miracle of a rainbow,

@jennihorsley.

they teach us to be more carefree,

They remind us to play games like hide and seek
