Wondrous Things

I think most people believe that when you have a child one wondrous thing comes into your world. But I am quickly discovering that you world becomes repopulated with many wondrous things in addition to the one main wondrous person who points them all out to you.

I realized this as I was driving to meet Elise for lunch yesterday. A bright yellow bulldozer was bucking through the intersection. Before Sam was born, I am quite certain the bulldozer would never have caught my eye.

Now I notice all kinds of things I used to take for granted: airplanes, motorcycles, birds, lizards, UPS trucks, school buses, puppies, helicopters, squirrels, speed boats, fountains, cats slinking through the bushes and yes...bulldozers.
