Little Adventurer's Journey

I watched this little orange backpack jog down the sidewalk in front of me in the airport this morning and thought about how proud I am of his worldwide adventure. He didn’t complain during the hikes. Lagged behind a little and then galloped up to the front, his too big backpack bumping on his little booty. Granted, he did complain in museums. More so the more he had to go to. But any kid would do that. He did much better than most five year olds. He hasn’t had a real nap in three weeks, late to bed and early to rise due to the 5:30 sunrise... but he hasn’t been as whiny as I expected. People thought we were crazy for bringing the kids... but here we are. And better for it!
