Turning the World Upside Down

My five year old loves looking at his own reflection. LOVES it! He will stand in the bathroom making faces at himself in the mirror for ages instead of washing his hands. So last night he was looking at his reflection in the back of a spoon... fun!

Then he flipped the spoon around and there he was... upside down!! WOW!

To his five year old mind, this is just about the coolest thing, EVER! He has been carrying this spoon around with him all morning and admiring himself... both upright and upside down. Oh the joy of still loving our own reflection, huh?

My wish for my baby boy: should the topsy turvy image in his spoon be the most drastic turning-upside-down of his world that he ever experiences... unless, of course, it is the good kind of turning, like falling in love with your soul mate or holding your babies for the first time. And I hope he holds each of those types of moments with just as much wonder as he is holding his spoon today!!
