When I think of "Skipper," I think of either Barbie's cousin (sister?) or some preppy pedigreed twenty-something ne'er-do-well. I'm not thinking of either in this case.
Skipper, n. -- one who skips
My sweet son Kyle exudes joy and energy. That exuberance can sometimes be a bit much for a parent or teacher to take. Lately, that glee has worked its way from his head and heart all the way down to his feet.
He skips everywhere -- across the living room to the stairs, from the parking lot into church, from one store to the other at the mall.
Skipping is the epitome of happiness. I don't know if he knows that, and I'm not even quite sure what he's so happy about, but I have to document this for posterity so that in 5 years when he's a quiet, sullen, withdrawn adolescent I'll be able to remember that it hasn't always been that way (and probably won't always be).

That's so sweet. Here's to hoping that the sullen years just pass you by!
He's growin' up!
Very sweet. I have a skipper too. And he hums while he's skipping, which I love. Can't believe how old Kyle looks in that picture!
