Deer Rowan

A deer found its way into our yard today. As usual, Rowan yelled, "Baoooo!" but then he looked again and saw that it was a really big " Baooo" and started bawling. He was actually terrified. I tried not to laugh as I comforted him.
I found myself a little worried today again about his being so small. Will he get picked on? Every kid gets picked on for something or another, I suppose. You get teased if you're too fat, too thin, too short, too tall.
The world is a tough place. It's good to remember that it's also a happy, wonderful place.
We went for a walk after dinner and Rowan was so happy to be out in the fresh air, watching the birds and the trees. Then as usual we checked the mail, hung out on the steps for a bit and came in.
