I will play, smile, and stare transfixed at the rain. I will sing, laugh, and make up stories. I will draw, break my crayons, and not care that they are broken.

The routine of my day fits me like an old sweater: comfortable, easy to move, with room enough to stretch.

He always says he is more a *city boy* than a *farm boy*, and that nature doesn't thrill him.
BUT. . . he always runs to us and says " Quick ! Come see ! " when there is something COOL to be seen in nature.
Ok . . . so maybe he doesn't like walking in nature, and nature journaling as much as us girls do, but he still DOES have that *connection* in his soul.
