BREAKING NEWS: We may have had a breakthrough!
We were talking about foxes this morning at breakfast (I forget the context), when I described to DS6 and DS4 how I once encountered a fox and was so mesmerized by it. DS6 got very pouty when I told him that I hadn't taken a picture, so I explained that I hadn't wanted to scare the fox and besides, you really need to experience these things for yourself because they are so magical. And then he said: "Let's go hiking this weekend!"
DS6 who normally cries whenever we suggest an outdoorsy activity said "Let's go hiking this weekend." I can't stop smiling this morning.
