2/52

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2016.”
Sunny: If you really get her laughing, her eyebrows crinkle up just so and it absolutely steals my heart. The little girl I used to babysit for in California had a similar expression at this age – the delight of a first grader. I love the satisfaction of truly knowing that I’ve said something funny or ridiculous or particularly entertaining.
Kaki: She was invited to a birthday party this weekend that included a performance with a clown. Upon hearing that news, she requested to stay home and help James clean the chicken coop and dispatch of two mean roosters rather than face a clown in person. Apparently, the clown in “Inside Out” has made a less than favorable impression. We compromised, and agreed to show up to the party late so as to just enjoy the cake and ice cream and games following the clown. James was left to Cartwheel farm duties solo, though it’s clear his VT kid will gladly help him in that regard one day when she’s older and it’s more appropriate.
