tough day made better

Today after school, Davis was happy to ride in his Big Truck...

...until the battery ran-down, 

and he had to push it all the way back to the garage.

It's a tough day when something like that happens.

After the truck was plugged-in to the charger,

Davis was happy to find his Big Ball...

...until a sudden gust blew it out of his hand,

right in the midst of a perfect throw.

It's a really tough day when something like that happens.

After the ball was rounded-up and put away 
so it wouldn't get lost to the wind, 
Davis was happy to draw and name shapes with his sidewalk chalk...

...until the only piece of blue chalk
 rolled down the driveway into an icky puddle.

It's a tremendously tough day when something like that happens.

And it's a really, really tough day when you're happy riding a tricycle...

... and all of a sudden realize that 'look out for the dog doo' sounds a lot like 'look at the moon' (that darn neighbor dog!)

But tough days only seem to make for bigger smiles

when loved ones are there for you!
