Austin is almost three, and an absolute joy to be with. He has that wide-eyed wonder of a child looking at life for the first time and seeing it for the true miracle it is….every rock, stick, and animal he comes across. Especially animals. Austin is obsessed with animals.
He is also full of energy, and an only child. Watching his parents reminds me of the time I was a young parent of an only child, a child who was bouncy, blustery, full-of-energy and wide-eyed wonder, and how exhausting it was to keep up. So whenever we are around Austin and his family, I zoom in on Austin pretty quick and try to get him to play with me. I think I am making progress; at least, he likes me when he sees me with my dog.
