Brady has an affinity for the sandbox at the local park. I don't really get it --I liken it to a very large cat box-- but he enjoys digging and sculpting and building. This morning, he was very excited to show me this:

It didn't look like much to me, but his face glowed as he told me it was a castle.

Creativity and enthusiasm and those big smiles... all God-sends to me. Even if they spring forth from an otherwise kind of gross sandbox.
