I have no idea what the quote is or who said it or maybe it doesn’t even exist as a series of words, but there is a thought out there about seeing the world through the eyes of a child. I know there is. Something about how everything is new again, when seen through the eyes of a child.

If that isn’t a quote by someone famous somewhere then I claim it:

“The world is new again when seen through the eyes of a child.”

And today, I rode the bus for the very first time because Damon and I took Fuller on his first city bus ride.

I had a dentist appointment downtown early this morning. Fuller was going to spend the time at Damon’s office. So, instead of Damon riding the bus to work and then Fuller and I following in the car about 30 minutes later, we all got on the bus together to take the ride downtown.

Fuller sat up very straight in his seat and stared wide-eyed through the gigantic windows to see the scenery fly by. He was amazed that he was riding the bus and kept saying, “bus? bus?” over and over. When we arrived downtown and got off, he said “Thank you!” to the driver and then gave a cheerful, “Bye!”

After my appointment was finally over and we had lunch, Fuller kept asking for the bus. He just got so much enjoyment out of being such a big boy taking public transportation. It was an obvious thrill and I was glad to take him home that way as well. He wasn’t that thrilled to get off when we arrived at our stop, but since we were the only ones on the bus it wasn’t too embarrassing.

I look forward to experiencing more of the world for the first time again, just because we have Fuller in our lives.
