simple delights

Yesterday, we were looking for something fun and different (and free!) to do with Maia while we had a couple of free family hours together. We ended up at our friend Don's organic chicken farm where Maia could spend time seeing the chickens, pigs and cats she's been reading about in her books. (Not to mention the animal sounds she's been starting to imitate-- hilarious.)

It's such a delight to watch a little person take such delight in the simple pleasures of life... a cuddly "kitty", a curious chicken, a snorting swine. I guess just as vulnerability breeds vulnerability, delight breeds more of the same. I love that.
