Sugar Rush (full bodied excitement)

This happened probably a couple of weeks ago right after my husband gave our son a sip of lemon aid. We were in the living room and our son is up and walking around. He stops, looks at us, gives a little baby babble yell and sort of hops back and forth from one foot to the other like he's getting warmed up to run. He then ran back and forth and just seemed to bounce around the room like he didn't know what to do with himself. 

He's done this a few times since then so I don't think it was purely a sugar rush as much as its just his way of expressing excitement. It made me realize that as we grow up we lose some of that uncontainable energy and become more reserved. It also made me appreciate how precious these early years are because his innocence allows him to do things that he will later probably not do for fear of embarrassment. Right now he can express himself freely however he is moved to do so. 

Cheerio: the excitement that my son expresses reminds me not to care too much about what others think. This is how life should be experienced.
