Chris and I took the boys to a playground over the weekend to romp around in the beautiful weather. While most 21 month old children are content to ride in the baby swing with a lazy, easy glide, Brennan had to have the "big boy" swing right next to his brother. Chris compensated by pushing Brennan gently to ensure that he didn't get too high. Brennan was not, to say the least, pleased by the gentle swing maneuvers.

"No, No, No!" he yelled emphatically, kicking his legs in frustration.

"Brennan, do you want to get off the swing?" asked Chris, confused.

"No. Daddy. Up, Up, UPPPPPP!" Brennan yelled with force.

He kept on yelling "up" until the swing was flying back and forth in wild abandon and it looked like his toes could touch the leaves on a nearby treetop. Only then, did he stop and just grin with pure joy. He even let loose a few giggles too.

We are so going to have our hands full with this child.
