from G.K. Chesterton
A child kicks his legs rhythmically through excess, not absence, of life.
Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free,
therefore they want things repeated and unchanged.
They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead.
For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony.
But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony.
It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the Sun;
and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon.
It may not be automatic necessity that make all daisies alike;
it may be God makes every daisy separately, but he has never got tired of making them.
It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy;
for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.

Quick Mom! Before I lose it!
On Sunday, Daddy got Kellan to sit up for a little minute while skyping with Grandma and Grandpa Cooney. I wouldn't say he is sitting for real just yet but he's almost there...
