Supposed to Be Writing a Paper (or Three)

But when Dex suggested that we go fly his kite the other day, I couldn't turn him down. I'm so glad that we did it - it felt so relaxing to watch my child's sheer exhilaration at flying a kite on a warm and breezy afternoon.

Last year, Ben or I had to get the kite going for him but, this time Dex was able to get it up in the air all by himself (with a little help from the perfectly windy day).

 At one point, he got it up "super duper high"!

 He didn't stop running the whole time.

And he and I both didn't stop smiling the whole time.
