Light and Shadows




Perhaps one of the simplest joys of childhood is playing with your shadow. Twice now, I have caught Liam experimenting with the way light and shadows work. Since his birth he as found pleasure in watching the tricks of light. Now he has found that he can manipulate light and make it work for him. This morning as the sun shone in our living room window, Liam played with his shadow. He sat with the light on his back holding forth with the light as if it were his orchestra. With arms raised he played with the light and made his little shadow friend dance. Mike and I were lucky enough to be witness to this shadow play. I truly will never tire of watching this boy learn and delight in new things.

Tara:You have to save those pictures and enter them in a contest for most wonderful baby. Little Liam is surely one of the happiest kids around & I know what you mean that you could just watch him all day. I look forward to catching up with him soon!

WOW! Those phoptos are FANTASTIC! You really should enter them in a contest somewhere. Also your words are beautiful. What a gift both of you have with the written language.
