Twilight is a special time for many people, but to kids, it is magical. The sky takes on a purple hue, golden light seeps from windows, fireflies glitter in the darkness. In summer, the quiet warmth wraps you like a blanket as the crickets lull you to sleep. It is like Disney World just before closing time.

Last night, twilight worked its magic on Harry. He's still having his teething issues, along with congestion and even a scary nose bleed. But, a short walk around the block and a few versus of twinkle twinkle little star and all was well again. The little guy literally had his eyes wider than I had ever seen them, and his mouth open as he looked all around him. Who knows what he actually saw of it all. Maybe the black leaves from the trees against the darkening backdrop, maybe the sounds of sprinklers or the music of neighbors quietly talking.

To Harry, I think it really was a bit like Disney World, complete with Tinker Bell to calm him, for all I know.
