I wrote a guest post for My Little Poppies...
My Little Poppy, like most poppies, experiences the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. In many regards, it is his biggest strength. Because he is intense and persistent he learns and remembers the minutia and nuances of whatever interests him. Because he is perceptive he sees things that everyone else around him misses, including the beauty of small things. Because he is sensitive, he has developed a refined palate for good food, good books, and good times.
THE CHARISMA OF EASY GIGGLES
In fact, he loves, LOVES, to be happy. (Who doesn’t? Right?) And since giggles come easily to him, people are drawn to him. Children and adults want to experience his joy. They approach him to see what is so funny and join him in laughter. But before too long they start to back away…
It happened yesterday. We had been invited to a new friend’s house. While I sat with the mom, My Little Poppy went off with his new friend. Before too long they had started to play a “bad guy” game, antagonizing the older sister of the house who went along with it for a while. Then she split off and My Little Poppy’s new friend suggested playing with hose water in the back yard.
Talk about unbounded happiness! Hose play is hands-down My Little Poppy’s favorite thing to do.
