My Nephew, My Love

Skyler is able to capture my entire awe at him in such simple moments. He is currently exploring ideas of death and I have to admit that I didn't think it was something kids thought about or talked about at his age unless actually confronted with it. However, Skyler has come to see death as a form of time out. He gets very angry when you bring up someone who has died he says "yeah and then they stick them in a box and don't feed them." He means that they place them in a coffin (a box) and he's right...they don't feed them. The fact that is 110% child makes me enjoy him all the more. What an amazing thing it is to experience life for the first time!
