The other day I noticed Jonah looking sad, working on his letters. I asked him what was up and he quietly said, “I’m not good at letters, I don’t like them.” Well, that’s not going to work, learning is supposed to be fun. So we put our shoes on, put Zachary in the stroller and headed out to soak up some nature on a walk. I told him we were going to make letters fun again!

Yes, Jonah is living his best life.

ps: this photo looks a bit scary, but he’s totally safe. The top is expansive and fenced in. There is not a drop off directly behind him 😊
