Chasing the birds

We're back from our 2.5 week trip in China and haven't quite processed our photos, thoughts etc. It was quite an adventure that I'm sure I'll write about in more detail. I wanted to jot down a quick thought however before it gets away from me. This weekend we were at the park where I noticed Logan huddled by a bush. He was really focused on it, so I cruised over to see what was going on. He was watching these little birds that were hiding in the bush and was so excited about it. He was doing the sign for birds and making a "tweet tweet" sound to tell me what he saw. A little later, he was chasing some pigeons around with the biggest smile on his face. He was so thrilled to be able to get close to them and then cause them to fly. The thing I love the most is seeing that wild look of abandon and discovery in his eyes. Not looking where he was going, just running with his eyes to the sky and a huge smile on his face. He was so thrilled. I love that.
