Amazing Adventures of Reshen

Dancing Leaves

Today Reshen was fascinated by leaves blowing in the wind. A huge gust would roll into the culdesac and kick the leaves up into the air, sending them dancing in twists and twirls along the ground. He would stand transfixed for a moment and then burst out in laughter. The gust would leave as suddenly as it came and everything would be still again. Reshen would stare at the leaves, expecting them to keep moving. When nothing happened after a few seconds he would smile and stomp over to a leaf and then do his "funny feet dance" around it, as if he was showing it how to dance again. Every leaf got this show until the wind visited again and sent the leaves upwards once more. We stayed outside until our hands were icicles and our cheeks red.

What a magical afternoon...

Oh, what a neat moment! And I love that you let yourself just observe and get caught up in it. :)

What a big world for our little man to explore. I can't wait to play outside with him and watch him dance with the leaves!
