Magic is a pretty cool thing. I hope our kids will always believe a little of it exists. Right now, both Nathan and Zoey still believe in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus.
There is a song by Cake “When you sleep, Where do your fingers go?” When Nathan was about 4 he fell asleep on the sofa. Like any good dad, Greg carried him to his bed. The next morning Nathan told us that he was magic. “How?” asked Greg. Nathan explained how he went to sleep on the sofa, disappeared, then reappeared in his bed in the morning.
Almost 2 years ago, we went to California to visit Greg’s family. While we were there we got to go to Disneyland. Since it was almost the 4th of July (we were at Disneyland on the 3rd), the fireworks were amazing. Disney’s display was narrated and pretty awesome. Near the end of the show, Tinkerbell flew from the sky and landed at Cinderella’s castle. Zoey knows in her heart it really was Tinkerbell that we saw.
I hope they always believe in magic because it makes the world a little bit more special and keeps the imagination alive.
