Every Child…

March 13, 2009 by Elaine

Every child should be able to do this….


…or have the opportunity to do this…

…or even do this if they feel so inclined…

I say all this because I believe it. And my new friend Jay is doing a wonderful thing for kids who may not get the chance to do these things. PLEASE go see him and if you can support his wonderful cause I know he will be ever so grateful. He’s even giving away some great stuff, including space on the top of his head. I know, it sounds strange, but it’s true. I mean, would I lie to you?

I’m also linking up to Photostory Friday so we can get this message out there even more.

    LOVE the photos and the sentiment. Every kid needs a chance to just be a kid as often as possible.

    I’m glad you’re using PSF to link up…off to check out the space on top of his head…

    I love that pic of the girls leaning over the deck. My grampa and I used to spit watermelon seeds off of his deck in the summertime. Such good memories.

    What fun pictures! They remind me that I should make it easier for my kids to be loud and explore. It seems I am always telling them to be quieter. I am so ready for Spring weather so we can get outside more!
