Family walk (take 2)

This being Ben's second walk around the neighborhood, we celebrated that unlike the first venture he was eager to just 'be'. Unlike the first trip, he was not the spectacle rather the spectator. He didn't cry. He did not scream. He didn't frantically or forcefully fill his shorts. He didn't really 'do' anything. We celebrate the 'growth' that he has shown...a whole walk void of outburst or expression. Perhaps the next step will be to look around at the grass, birds, trees and flowers...Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Celebrate with us a trip without tears.
