last of 4 | day eleven.

I love how you just explore in the yard.  Make up games.  Tightrope walk on the garden ledge.  Today you were making dandelion bouquets.  It got off to a shaky start after Dudley (our pug) stole the first bunch and ate it.  Typical big brother foiling your plans.  But you just began again.  I love that about you.  So determined.  We should have known that when you started walking at 9 months old.  You take the world with both hands…running at full speed.  I’ve never known anyone who enjoys living as much as you do.  I was happy when I caught a glimpse of the quiet and thoughtful you today.  Of course…these were caught in between twirls, silly faces and saying naughty words (like ‘poop’). Oh how you live up to your name…’bright and shining.’
