What is Childhood?

To me this picture is all about childhood. Ava had the best time running up and down the levee this day. The grass was tall and all I could think was...man I bet her legs are itchy! But it did not phase her. She would fall and get right back up and do it again. She rarely sits still for pictures these days, so most of my shots are "on the go" type pics. I love this stage (although...there are days I am exhausted from chasing her all day). She is sooo chatty (wonder were that comes from???) She rarely slows down, but when she does and sits in my lap for a little snuggle, I could not be more content. I guess I'm equally content to be chasing her up and down on a levee in tall itchy grass.......
