Day: March 23, 2014

Paris Mountain

“Tata, when are we going to have another Tata-L day?” the Girl occasionally asks. It’s our nickname for a little bit of time together, just the two of us. It might be a bit of bike riding together, or it might just be a few errands with a milkshake treat to finish up the outing. Until recently, though, the Boy has really been too small for a Tata-E day.

Today was just such a day

The girls were on their way to the airport for Babcia’s return flight, with a planned stop at Ikea to begin planning a room renovation for the Girl’s bedroom. It was the perfect opportunity for a bit of little-man-alone-with-Tata time: walking, climbing, falling, looking, exploring.

Posed
Calling to the geese
Posed
Over the bridge — again, and again, and again.
Passable roots
Walking the trail with excitement
Beaver tracks
Examining
Step one
Step two
Step three
Walking carefully so as not to fall through

Nostalgia

Some songs send you back into the past in an almost palpable way.
