Remember what it was like to swing?
Sure, you may sit on and swing and swing a little every now and then but it is not the same as how it felt to swing when you were growing up. Now when you swing you worry about the swingset tipping over or the rope/chain breaking. You are looking at the ground and checking out the sturdiness of the construction of the playground...aren't you? Not these kids. Just watch a child on a swing. So carefree and full of trust.
This weekend for Father's Day we went to Jennifer and Tom's. They have a swingset and Hannah really enjoyed playing on it. She loves to swing but I had never seen her so happy about it!
At one point when Daddy was pushing her she was laughing so hard that I was certain that she was going to face plant into the ground.
You see that pure joy in her face?
I love these moments*
*even if inside I was having a mini-heart attack worried that if she let go or slipped off the seat that she would fall and 'crack her head open' (hey sisters-ever heard that one before?)

OMG I totally hear you! Agustín is more timid on the swings, but Nico gets some serious height! He loves it but I am having one of those mental heart attacks as well the whole time he is swinging! My secret fear is that he will go all the way around the upper pole!
hahaha, crack her head open--sure do! Just pure joy--love that top black and white picture!
