Tiny Toes
August 13, 2009 at 9:44 pm , by Emily
I love feet. I love the beach. I love feet on the beach.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that going to the beach in the middle of Anyday is something to appreciate. It’s something not to take for granted. It’s something to take in and enjoy as often as possible.
I often wonder as I stand there with my kids, looking out at the vast ocean, what they must think of it. How big it must seem. How impossibly wide and far it must go to their small selves.
Other times I see my son’s tiny toes resting on me as I hold him.
I think of how impossibly wide and vast the world the tiny toes in my life are part of. I think of how far those feet will go. How high those feet will jump. How someday I won’t have tiny toes in my life. But I’ll be proud of where they are going.

beautiful post, as always Emily. I’d guessed you like feet!I’ve kept the kids’ first baby socks because they remind me of the miracle of it all. My 12 year old son’s getting tall, broad and handsome and rests his elbow on my shoulder now, just to tease me!
I wish our kids could draw sand pictures with a stick together some day.

I always think, “Gosh, did I get enough pictures of my daughter’s fingers and toes when she was just weeks old, or months even?” It’s amazing to think of all the puddles and paths those little toes have yet to explore!
