innocence



It's amazing to me the innocence a child has. There is no fear of all the bad things that could happen, no timidity.

We took the kids swimming today.

There was no check to see how deep that water was, how warm or cold it was, whether we'd be there to make sure he came up out of the water; just that initial excitement and...the jump. He had so much fun showing us all the cool things he knew how to do, and testing out the belly flops, cannonballs, and handstands we showed him. It was a great day.
