Constant motion from waking 'til sleeping
It must be tiring - ya' think - maybe not
Observers in awe of the energy are illuminated, exhausted just watching
Trying to keep up with the thinking, examining, exploring, mimicking, challenging, daring, defying
Conquering pesky weariness by continuing upright, though somnambulant
Vigorously denying fatigue, sleep, and certainly pajamas
Charming, darling, bright, maddening, exasperating
Extraordinary little creature
Creature, you ask - well, he had to have been created
There's no other descriptor appropriate
Thank God for this little four year old wonder
And for the capacity created in us to unquestionably love him

Very cute...thanks for posting this video. I must have been taking my 'power nap', which was definitely needed. Love - Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh Lucy - we were:))
ReplyDeleteSarah - the video was an experiment on my camera and I was surprised when I watch searching for a photo to find that the video taking had actually worked:)
