in the last glinting rays of summer

the way they grasp the rules and dynamics of social interactions and laugh appreciatively at SpongeBob's practical jokes provoke a kind of ecstasy, and delirious abandon. they amaze me. every day. yet watching them groom and unsaddle a pony for the first time, oozing unbridled joy and lit just right from within, I couldn't be more proud.

I couldn't be happier.

Sooo sweet! My twins would love to ride ponies! The way they make each other laugh is particularly special.. I think it's a special twin thing. :)

That is so cool that you have them in riding lessons! I didn't even realize that you could start them so young.

They say that when kids know how to care for animals, they become caring persons as well.
