Rollin'

Tom loves to be outside.

What did you do on the solstice? To celebrate all that sunlight we stayed outside late and played in the yard. Tom is an expert at rolling down hills. Check out his skills.

Of course, now all he wants to do is roll down the hill in our yard. The second he feels grass under his feet he starts trying to roll. But hey, cheap thrills!

We do everything we can to encourage Tom to be physically bold and comfortable in his own body. He has a great sense of body awareness and I think that is because he has always been they type of kid that always wants to be in motion. He doesn't know to be afraid of things. That's the type of thing that kids pick up from others. Naturally we keep an eye out for danger and teach him to protect himself, but we want him to be curious about the world and not afraid of it.
