Again! (insert super cute squeaky voice)

Isabelle is really starting to love playing with blocks. Right now she just likes to build a tower out of the single peg jumbo legos as high as she can. Of course there isn't a lot of support with those skinny, single towers, so her towers tip and fall very quickly. As soon as her tower topples to the ground, she hurries to start picking the legos back up, as she squeals "again!"

As I watched and listened to her to this over and over again tonight, I couldn't help, but think how I wished that I could have her positive attitude about needing to start all over again. It didn't matter how many times that tower fell to the ground, she began to rebuild it with energy and enthusiasm.

Sometimes I think we can learn some life lessons from our little ones. Although life seems to crumble around us over and over again, it is important to start to put those pieces together AGAIN without hesitation.

As we do it again, and again, we will grow stronger, we will grow smarter, and our lives will grow sturdier.
