January 14

I'm sure that at some point in the past, I've posted something similar to this, but that's okay: these moments are both precious and far too few, so repetition is warranted.

This morning while we waited at the park for school to start, Brady decided to build an animal house. (It's really a bug house, given the size and materials, but Brady was so cute when he talked about finding "animals" to live in it that I didn't expend much effort on correcting his terminology.) He had a plan from the get-go, and I watched as he carefully laid out the framework with sticks and tanbark and then began looking for residents.

Creativity is a sweet blessing.
