Circus in town...

The boys had never been to the circus, so when it came to town this year, we seized the opportunity. We told them that the circus is one of the few places where it is appropriate to yell and scream as much and as loudly as they want. They regularly took advantage of that rare bit of permission, but
otherwise watched the rest of the performances in quiet fascination (of course).
Before the main show, early arrivals could go down to the circus floor and watch performers up close. The acrobats and clowns were terrific, but their favorite part had to be the elephant that drew a picture with his trunk. Watching our boys taking it all in was one of our simple parenting pleasures this year.
