The excitement of a 3 year old prior to a new event (in this case his first baseball game) is something of pure magic, wonder and joy. Albeit slightly exhausting, being around this energy is truly uplifting. :)
It also had me remember those 'new times' that I had as a child, constantly creating in a state of bliss. As an adult, I have seen that many people tend to forget that this is our natural state of being. We have learned or been taught that life is repetitive, boring or 'not fun'. Well, this can be unlearned too.
Try going to something 'new' with a toddler or just going along with a friend that is passionate and loves what they are doing. If they want to 'ride on your shoulders' or just ask for you to join in, try saying 'Yes!' instead of 'No.' And I suggest smiling for the pictures too - you never know how happy you might look. :)
All the Best,
Whitney

This is so true Whitney! I took my nephew to the circus a few weeks ago and he had the same big old smile on his face like Z does in this picture! :) It was priceless. I don't think he will ever forget the circus with Uncle J and Auntie G.
Great post!
