Owyn sucks it up

Owyn and Rhys were playing outside again this evening. In addition to their new/old house, they have two small slide/climbing things. They are about the right size for a two year old. Climb up one side, slide down the slide. Very simple and as safe as a slide can be without going into a pool of jello.

Owyn was on the slide and fell off. He dusted himself off and started to whimper. He is not as tough as Rhys, though he should be as he is bigger and stronger than Rhys at that age. He started across the grass, whimpering, with his lower lip quivering.

I looked at him and said "Owyn, you're fine." He looked at me, stopped, then turned around and went back to playing.

I guess some times you just need to be told that everything is all right.
