Simple Joys

Our children really have simple joys. One morning my seven year old Miel and I woke up at about the same time and she asked me if she and I could brush our teeth together. I said yes and after brushing our teeth I started to shave and allowed her to 'pretend shave'. I placed shaving cream on her chin and cheeks and gave her a comb and pretended that it was a shaver and I helped her shave with her 'shaver'. After our 'shave', as we left the bathroom together, she chuckled and said to herself in a low voice 'that was so much fun'. Simple joys indeed.
