Ten minutes of magic just happened here. I walked outside to see what the racket was. The boy and the dad were throwing a super bouncy ball on the roof and chasing after it. Pure joy was beaming from little guy's face. Giggling as he raced his dad for the ball.
I joined in but after a couple minutes the game evolved. A bat began swooping nearby for mosquitoes and so began phase two. We began tracking the bat and when it got close we'd toss the ball in his path. The bat of course went for the ball every time! Luke was thrilled to be interacting with a wild animal he's only seen in books.
It's those little unplanned things that make up a childhood. Peace y'all.
