We've been keeping a
stroller on hand so we can take him out when he gets board and a park near
the lab has become a regular destination during this month while Harry's been
coming in to work. I'll usually walk beside the stroller and kind of pull
it forward, rather than push from behind, so Harry can see that I'm around
and we can talk. Sometimes on downhill sections I'll run out ahead of the
stroller and look back. Harry thinks that's very funny. But, when we get to
the park Harry is all focused on the other kids and the swing. He likes the
swing and, like the bathtub at night, will wave his arms in excitement as
we near his favorite ride. He likes going high, too, like I did when I was
a kid of six or so. But, I can't help wondering from time to time whether
I'm training a future extremist or daredevil.
