Don’t blink! We spent yesterday afternoon enjoying the sunshine at a playground with Leigh and her kids. But the sunshine is fleeting and this morning it’s already raining again, and will be gloomy for the rest of the weekend.
Don’t blink! The kids had so much fun flitting from one thing to another at the playground, especially loving the twisting, spinning dizzy-makers and the rocking motorcycle. They played together in various groupings and thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon outing. But their groupings were fleeting, so this one picture of the five of them in one frame was the only way to capture the whole group.
Don’t blink! When we got back to Leigh’s house, JediBoy came in for a popsicle and casually said, “Oh, look, Mom, my other tooth came out.” He handed me his second baby tooth to save for the tooth fairy and wandered off to play. He found a half dollar, a Canadian dollar and the latest Magic Tree House book under his pillow this morning, which has led to an enjoyable romp through our shelf of nature books on sea creatures, since the Magic Tree House book features an octopus and an 1870’s oceanography vessel. We’re having a wonderful time talking about octopus and squid. But it drills into me how fleeting his childhood is and how precious every day must be. Is he really old enough to have lost two teeth and read passages from Jacques Cousteau books on his own? Don’t blink!
