The pure, wide-eyed, innocent joy of an excited child. It's something all children have, and all adults wish they still had.
In the case of this adult, it's also something I wish I could capture.... with my camera. These were the best I could do on Christmas morning...
Sometimes, the excitement is just a little too much for him. Opening one present (a bubble-maker from Grandma and Grandpa, thanks!), he exclaimed “Yeah! This is just what I need!” This alone is funny enough, coming from a four-year-old, but it was soon followed by “What's this?”
I have it on video... I should upload it, but I'm a bit crunched for time. We're heading off for a three-day mini-trip tomorrow, until the 31st.
Note: I will be out of contact until August 26. Any comment you leave before then will be read upon my return.
