Simple Pleasures

The other day I was at a playground with Cris and the wee ones.
Toviel has not spent a lot of time at playgrounds yet since he wasn't walking well last fall and it has just been too cold to go outside and enjoy playing at a playground, so this was pretty much his first experience walking on sand.

It makes me smile every time I think about it...Toviel taking little steps in the sand and quietly giggling and giggling. Each step brings on a more intense giggle until he squeals with delight. Step. Giggle. Step. Giggle. Step. Giggle.
And it was the kind of giggle that he wasn't sharing with anyone. Just in his own little world...enjoying it quietly by himself...letting his feelings spill out from deep inside him and overflow into his surroundings...sprinkling his pleasure onto the sand with his tiny little giggles yet unaware that he is doing so.

Just from walking on sand. I wish you could have seen it.

That is enjoying life!!
