'Tis my wild boy
Sunlight gleams in his smiles
Radiant blonde hair winking in the sun
Sturdy legs running ceaselessly
With a flash and a wink
My heart sings
'Tis my wild boy
Ever smiling in joy
Crooked grin
My heart a captured prisoner forevermore
Chubby hands are forever sticky
Painting jam pictures
My heart sings
'Tis my wild boy
A wonder of delight
Cuddles so happily with me
Mud puddle jumping has never been so fun
My heart sings
Hi again! It's been a little longer than I had planned since the last installment but this little guy {featured here in this post} just had his appendix out this past month and that delayed things a bit. This blog post was planned to be posted right around that same time. He is doing wonderful now and we are back with this muddy part 3 installment of a slice of life on the trail from earlier this year with him.
At the beginning of this year, in Spring, we spent some time on one of our favorite trails in Balboa Park which includes the Juniper staircase. After extra rain here in San Diego we had some good mud and mud puddles. As we approached he squealed with delight, as only a 3 year old boy can{at the time} at the sight of the huge puddle surrounded by lush greenery.
He jumped. Got wild. Dirty. I documented his pure joy. This moment of boyhood that fleeted past all too quickly. My heart sang. This is my wild boy. I hope you enjoy.
