Akiva eats best

with a lot of traffic at the table.

It can be hard to reach the food at times.

Silly game!

Iris eats best

under the table.

She will explain to you

that it is a reasonable thing to do.

I can’t believe it!

Thank you, Sara & family.

I’m looking illium

a five-leaf trillium

that I’ve overlooked before

one leaf is sunshine,

the other is rain,

third are the flowers that bloom in the spring,

fourth is a poem that’s catchy with bad rhymes

fifth is something else, and if you’ve read this far,

you can make it up yourself,

for I’m looking illium

a five-leaf trillium

that I’ve overlooked beeeeee-fore!

For Akiva’s 2nd birthday, I made a doll.

Just for him.

The doll was to be named Hymie,

after a doll that another little boy loved with all his heart, so, so long ago.

I decided on matted brushable mohair for his wig,

dark blue eyes,

and floppy so-soft reversible linen trousers with button closures for his attire.

Akiva prefers the green pants with cars on the pocket over the blue pants with checks.

Akiva likes his Hymie. Maybe someday he will love him.

Akiva likes a lot of things.

How I love that little boy!

For part one of this tale, please read the post titled “Hymie.”

Ride a cock horse

 to Shelburne Museum

To buy my two children a galloping horse

It trots behind and it ambles before

And my children shall ride

Till they can ride no more.

I lost a leg off an old pair of yoga pants. Iris finds it a perfect fit.

104 Laplatte Circle, Shelburne, Vermont.

Home. Sweet home.
