I came across this picture from summer before last while sorting through my digital files. It made me smile. I think it is the picture that should be in the dictionary beside the entry for “little boy.”

I had taken M & G (still a tiny baby) to the park with my mom & grandmother. With a whole park full of slides, swings, monkey bars, & jungle gyms, M homed right in on an old can someone had left lying there and had a blast kicking it around the park. One man’s trash is a little boy’s treasure…

{Note the tongue – this is the only proper way to kick a can…}

So how about it – have you been naughty or nice this year? Time is running out!

Whichever list you’re on, we hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
