Ah yes summer…you are being a wonderful auntie and teaching him well. Great thing about him is that when you are tired of him, you can drop him back with his mom and dad and go on about your life. I think they are great to “borrow”…:)

Kids – the mess and the noise and the energy… and then the love. They are little bits of heaven in a human body!

Sounds like a wonderful start to summer!! (I would love to go and shout with the windows down for the pure love of it all)

That day at the beach is finally coming back to reward you, proving yet again that you should almost always go with your instincts, no matter how ill-advised it seemed at the time.

Now, that’s good for what ails you!

Children boil life down to it’s essence. I have this picture in my mind…one day I pulled up to preschool, and I was fiddling around in my car when I looked up to see a Mom and child walking up to the door, hand in hand. Mom is serious, focused, moving ahead. And there is her little girl, hanging on to her hand, skipping, hopping, twisting around, grinning, leaping, and singing. The short walk from the car to the school door was filled with movement and joy and exuberance. Funny, you never see adults doing that – when did we lose it? Sometimes I think that is the attraction of running – at least for me and my goofy husband. Silliness abounds on our runs, little dances and leaps and twirls, big gestures, monkey calls, it’s our grown-up way of being a child again.
