So the 2-year-old comes trotting down the hall. He stops when he sees me and beams. Some sister has carefully arranged a beautiful circlet on his head just so, its flowers half buried in his curly hair, the ribbons hanging down in ever so lovely a manner.

Instead, he bounces off and sits down hard and proceeds to belly laugh for half a minute before getting up and trotting off again.
