finding fun - stamford child photographer

ryan does not like boundaries.  he doesn't like gates that block stairs.  he doesn't like being told no.  i have a hard time being understanding toward his curiosity sometimes, especially when he is doing something that mommy knows could cause him harm.
one morning, i was tired of saying no.  so, i let him go upstairs on his own, knowing that there wasn't too much trouble he could get into, and making sure to chase after him within a few minutes to make sure he was ok.
on this particular morning, i was carrying my camera up to the loft where my computer desk is.  on the way i found ryan.  he was playing in the sheets that were on the floor, waiting to go into the wash machine.  he was having a ball!  rolling himself around in them, and playing peek-a-boo.  i was glad to have had my camera in hand to capture his expression.
that morning i was reminded that although it's not always convenient for him to be running off, where i have to chase him down, he's just looking for fun, and letting his little 18 month old imagination run free.
