What is it about children that make us so cheerful and lighthearted at times? Is it that it takes us back to the moments when we ourselves as adults had less worries? Nostalgia for what was, and can never be again, for us elders.
For this "little monster" has no bills, traffic, judgements, broken relationships, or unfulfilled promises. He is pure emotion and probably doesn't even understand it. Mason Miles as we call him is just over 1 year young in this world! What a magical and wondrous time!
In the few hours I was blessed with him and his mothers visit I saw many expressions that covered the profusion of feelings and expressions we as humans share. Do you know as humans we have 7 basic emotions? Here they are expressed through Mason's visit.
Wonder/Surprise
Joy/Happiness
I think Whimsy lies within the first two emotions, what do you think?
Fear
Contempt
Anger
I really didn't have any angry pictures of Mason, but I think his "little monster" hat looks a bit angry to me. Ornery as well, but angry too.
We didn't have any SAD pictures either, or Disgust. I will have to be better with capturing his moments next time, even the bad ones.
Peace, Love, and Handmade Paper,
Erin & Mason
