Colors are Beautiful

After Charlie's bath, Charlie was laying on my lap, on his stomach, looking over the side of the bathtub, at the water as it drained. The only toys he played with tonight were 7 small plastic bowls of different colors - red, orange, purple. I was drying his back as he said, "Colors booootiful."

I asked, "Did you say the color of the bowls are beautiful?"

"Yes, Mommy. Colors bowls bootiful. That's right!" He rested his little chin on his hand and watched the bowls spinning slowly in the current as the water drained away.

They were beautiful - like little jewels floating in a crystal clear pool of water. It reminded me of that Asian tradition of placing floating lanterns in a lake.

That's right, Charlie. Colorful are beautiful.
