I was trolling through some old photos that I haven't looked at for a while. It is always fun to find photos like these. They were taken in January last year so Levi is a whole 20 some months older now. Look how much he has grown up in that time. Kids are great, they look so much like themselves each photo but gradually, gradually they get older and suddenly, before you know it...not little children anymore! There is a sweetness in his face. I love that Levi has never really known major loss or pain. I love that he can look at the world with an optimism and joy that is denied so many other children in the world, even in Australia. The best that I can do for Levi and perhaps even the future in general, is to keep that look on Levi's face for as long as it is possible. The world needs joy and the world needs optimism. The world needs little boys in trees as well!
He was such a little cherub! Wow... 20 months' time has really matured his face (and what a cute face he has).
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely about the world's need for optimism & joy & little boys in trees. I'm so happy for you that you've got all of that wrapped up in your Levi!
