A ridiculously silly post from back in 2012.

This afternoon, my Grandtwins took their FIRST bite of baby food meat, chicken to be exact.
Here’s Matthew‘s reaction:
And Madison‘s:
Uncannily similar to the response I had when it hit me that Keeping Up with the Kardashians was about to enter its 8th season.
“Rest”
For some reason, I have always appreciated, even revered, “the view from behind.” As a child, on the first day of each new school year, I was a nervous wreck waiting for the teacher to announce our seating arrangement. Front of the class? 😢 Too much exposure! Too revealing! Too out there! Far too much responsibility to “be.” A nice, comfy seat toward the back? 😁 Perfect. I get to observe, to “see.” To calmly breathe.
In this blog category, “The View from Behind,” I invite you to join me, somewhere in the back.

Here’s youngest grandchild, sweet Isabelle Grace, a while back.
The inquisitiveness, the liveliness, the awakening joy in her eyes.
A new leaf on life. Green.
And I saw it/I see it. All from behind.
Old. Young.
