Swings

Took Bean to the park today, to take advantage of the break in our wild and woolly winter weather, and I was reminded of how much kids are kids...regardless of the challenges they may face. I think I often forget that in the face of all the naysaying we hear so much...but she is more normal a little girl than not, and did she ever dig the swings. I took her into the sand for a bit too, and while she was fascinated with the way it felt, lunch (and nap) time was encroaching, so we kind of maxed out with swinging.

It was good for me too, to realize how utterly pleasant it was to stand there, pushing my daughter on the swing and watching the sheer joy on her face--I could have stayed all afternoon.
