Ask Jaime someday
about first graders at play
when they asked him
the question
that stoppped him cold.
How do you eat?
My daughter says,
the nose knows.
Always,
the nose knows.
That's how it goes.
Is life really
that simple?
And all the time,
we adults try
so hard
to complicate things?
Only the nose
knows.
That's how
it goes.
Really.

Cute Kacy. And how true, as adults we do tend to complicate things. As the big bird says in the commercial “follow your nose…it always knows”!! Lol.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Tracey, thanks! I didn't know the big bird and I agreed on this! And I'm sorry, my nose is not working so well right now...it's stifling tears after reading the Cantrell post. Like Mr SnuffleUpagus? (I have no idaea how they spell that one!)

Saunni, thanks. Jaime just emailed me about the first grade classroom he visited today. He is blind, and one of the kids asked him, "How do you eat?"  My daughter took it from there.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Kacy, this is sooooo cute, sweet friend, I always enjoy reading Jaime's words though I haven't had the privilege to visit him yet, even while we live not too far apart! (smiles) I think sometimes we can all make things so complicated as we grow, sweet friend, I only wish everything doesn't have to be so hard, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, you will be meeting him this summer. Be ready. He is special. But then, so are you! I am the lucky one, to be able to have the two of you both in Colorado! See you soon.

Kacy...this is so adorable.  I have been watching videos all night...of my late husband playing with my grandaughters....and I just marvel at the innocence of little children and the questions they ask.

Midnite

and I thought I was the only one who knew the wisdom of the nose...I have been saying, "the nose knows" for a very long time...but not with this kind of charm.  Loved it!

Lyra, I hope those videos are comforting you. Thanks for your reply.

Martie, thank you, dear friend. Your nose is apparently sensitive to others emotional needs, as well as to the scents that surround you. Thank you for all the extra time and care you gave to the Chadwick bouquet.
