Awwww Little Dante

Those of you who know me, know I'm not big on kids. Wait a minute let me explain. Kids are cute and adorable, but I'm not a fan of ill-mannered, grown ass kids lol.!Well on Christmas day while many of you have the pleasure of spending time with your love ones, I had the pleasure of flying the friendly skies (which aren't too friendly around the holidays). During a layover while sitting in the terminal @ Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport I met the most adorable little boy named Dante.

Dante was about 2 years old he and his mom Anita sat down next to me. He and his mom were both of Mexican descent and so sweet! Dante was so amazed by the air planes taking off in front of us and came and sat right next to me saying "you see the plane, its going bye bye, I love the plane"! I just kept running back and forth sharing how much he loved the planes to me. Dante spoke to me in English and to Anita in spanish. I began to speak to Dante and he was so surprised I knew spanish lol. I shared with Anita when I was Dante's age my family was stationed in Germany where I grew up as a child and that I spoke German fluently. I was just in awe of how well he spoke english and then would comprehend what and Anita and I both said in English and Spanish. He was such a happy and energetic little boy. I think it's is amazing when children are bilingual at such a young age!  They are like little sponges and they are eager to absorb so much :) Anita was so proud of her son, I told her he is so sweet and well behaved that he is such a good little boy! Like the proud mom Anita was she said "Dante is a great little boy"!

It's crazy how something so simple like meeting Dante can totally change your mood and make your day! With that said, if or when you have children nurture their little minds, expose them to many different arts, culture etc and I assure you it will truly be self rewarding in the end :)
