It is amazing and beautiful to see the complete lack of self conciousness of our toddler. In the park this weekend, moo approached many groups of kids and joined in ball games, balloon throwing and bubble blowing. The freedom of allowing a kid to be a kid is something I think is important and precious. I guess his complete trust that everyone is good and his lack of ability to make a judgement allows kids like him to be taken advantage of by bad people. But, in his lack of judgement, it also means that he cannot see race, religion or disability as something to separate us as humans and how nice for me, just for a moment, to see life through his eyes that simply, every person is good, fun, lovely, friendly, happy.....
