My son is 4 years old and just one bundle of energy from the time he gets up in the morning until he goes to sleep at night. A kid that has a hard time sitting still for more than a few minutes and is just constantly on the go and exploring the outdoors and what makes things tick. And he is very high strung, stubborn, and strong willed… often to the chagrin of my wife and I. However, there are times when I will see him interacting with a baby at the daycare and he will make sure they are comfortable, bring him/her toys, and just sit down and play with them in the most gentlest of manners that completely belies his usual frantic state. It is in these moments, seeing that he somehow understands the need to care and be careful, that I feel moved.
