We took our kids to a wonderful farm wedding yesterday and it struck me yet again how quickly and easily kids can become best friends. The uniting factor was a simple piece of rope tied to a tree over a hill which the kids took turns holding onto and falling off of, until the mystery man who led this troupe of kids on their swinging adventures tied a seat to the rope. This kicked things up a notch and got my heart beating a little faster as I watched my kids (sophia especially) fly at least twenty feet up in the air.
Sophia loves to swing and always has. Of all my kids she was the only one content in a baby swing for more than a couple of minutes. Even as a toddler I used to be able to garden with Phia sitting in the baby swing and Elias, Tristan and I would take turns walking over and pushing her really high only to let her swing herself back to a stop and wait for the next passersby. So I suppose I should not be surprised that the consensus is that Sophia loved swinging the most last night, she always has.
