What do you see in the picture? Maybe a whale, truck, cream cheese tub, and a travel bottle of shampoo?
To a four year old these items are fifteen minutes of pure bathtub enjoyment.
I watched my daughter so completely focused on these objects in the bathtub that she was oblivious to the fact that she was almost hypothermic because the water temperature was dropping. Oh, and by the way, that cream cheese tub is not a cream cheese tub, it's a boat.
It's the holiday season, and watching my daughter derive so much pleasure out of those four simple toys helped set the tone for me for the rest of the season.
It's not about "Black Friday" and waiting in line for hours outside Best Buy to save $50 on a television.
It's about the simple pleasures in life. It's about watching your daughter completely enthralled with a whale, truck, cream cheese tub (boat), and a travel bottle of shampoo.
These are the things that make her and me happy. These are the things that really matter.
