It’s amazing what happens when I leave the boys to their own devices. Not that this is an incredible example but I find it’s full off imagination and innovation as well as classic childhood ‘doings’.

A fort plus chess. A chess game plus some new pieces. How they can tell who is now who is beyond me. But that’s okay. It’s not for me to know. It’s for children’s brains to create, assign and understand.

It’s for me to love and to always be reminded how precious childhood is.
