Most of these are pictures dug out from the past. The second one is from a preschool pumpkin picking trip three years ago. Back then, Tommy was a bolter - regularly delighting in running as far away from me as possible whenever he could. He didn't stop and would keep on going forever. It was a pretty long (and nightmarish) phase that lasted over two years...I could never take my eye off him and even lost him once or twice. If you're a parent of a bolter you know how stressful it is. Anyhow, he was wearing an orange hat that day when he jogged off into the distance, and I thought it made a cute photo.
Needless to say, I had to break into a sprint to fetch him not long after.
