We wanted to conclude a lovely playdate with a group kid picture. Of course, the moment the adults began asking the three 4-5 year old boys to pose together, the boys began running circles around a large pine tree and screaming with nonsensical abandon. I stopped asking the boys to calm down and sit still for the cameras — because I hate bleating in vain for something that is just not going to happen unless I resort to an unpleasantly firm tone of voice — and snapped a picture of Little Boy while his friends were on the other side of the tree.
Here’s to little boys being little boys!!
