Speaking of innocent, I’ve been reminded these past few days of just how sweet kids are – and how it’s the little things that make them so happy. We’ve been traveling (just got back from a four-day visit to Safta and Pop Pop), and my heart swelled just a little when:

• Avery ran through the airport, squealing “Pop Pop!!” when she first saw him in the airport last Thursday
• The girls spotted the various (very cool) play structures at Wheaton Regional Park and started running through the park and yelling “Playground!” in excitement
• Zoe practically jumped up and down in her chair when her favorite grown-up show, The Big Bang Theory, came on in the airplane on our way home
• Avery declared with great enthusiasm as we landed yesterday, “I want to go on an airplane again!”
• The girls danced, laughed and did Ring Around the Rosie this morning before school – and looked as if it were the most fun thing in the world (which, to them, it likely was)

If only I could bottle up their enthusiasm for life!
