Thinking about Kai when he was Nina's age, what did we do together when it was just the two of us? Living in Dexter, MI, running out in back past the berm to play in the parking lot puddles. Playdates with Casey Ryan. He was an inconsistent napper at this point, I took him on lots of walks in the BOB (which is now completely moldy and destroyed in the backyard from Louisiana weather). Spanish classes. Music classes. Lots of library storytime.
I can still hear so clearly the "Mommyyyyyyyyyyyyy" I heard when I picked him up at June and David's.
I'm trying to remember what kinds of projects we did back then, so I can recreate those experiences with Nina. He loved fingerpainting, and that always turned into a full body paint. He loved eyedropper and watercolors. He was such a cerebral fellow, he loved letters and numbers but Nina is still all animals and babies.
