The Fun

I can't stop thinking about one small moment from my day.  Christian was napping, and Tes and I were outside.  I was gardening and Tes was playing on the swings.  I would come push her until she screamed with delight, then let her "swing it out" which is what she says when she wants me to stop pushing and let the swing get slower.  I would walk over to the garden and work for a little bit, until I was summoned to push her again.  During one of these cycles, I was pushing Tessie and she said, "Sometimes, I'm having so much fun that the fun just comes through me and I scream Woo Hoo!"  I wanted to pull her off the swings and hug her.  In that moment, Tes completely summed up childhood joy.  What a wise, beautiful soul she has.
