As I walked through the zoo with my son for the first time, a whole new world opened up to me, that I once knew, but had faded away as I grew up.

As parents we get the unique opportunity to look at with “new” eyes at the world. We have a chance to reawaken our own inner child and rediscover the basics of life again.

Allow yourself to play.  Let your child open up a world that has been lost to you.

I, myself have rediscovered how good pretend food tastes, and the lost art of being silly.

Give it a try!  It will lessen the tendentious that sometimes comes with being an adult.
