Good morning!

It’s feeling like summer over here. I turned on the air conditioning for the first time yesterday. And it’s gonna be in the NINETIES early next week.

Every evening is park evening.

I meant to come on here two days ago to document that it was the first time Riyu has noticed an airplane in the sky. We’ve tried to point out airplanes flying above us before. But his world has been so small and he didn’t always track our fingers. Anyway, two nights ago, we were all sitting on the tree stumps chatting and I watched him follow the airplane with his eyes.

And it feels like a silly thing to document.

But it felt so exciting to actually witness his little world grow a little larger.

He’s very similar to Ishu in a lot of ways. But they’ve definitely got their differences. It’s fun watching him be his own little human. But then, I also have MAJOR DEJA VU moments when something will happen and I’m transported back to four years ago.

Riyu is very into balls. And all things his brother is doing. He loves being able to move around, but doesn’t seem as eager to stand up or start walking like his brother did. He’s perfectly content crawling from place to place.

Anyway, that’s it.

That’s the big news.

Our days are mostly the same. Over and over and over again.

Except for now we can track an airplane.

I feel like this blog has mostly become a diary for all things Ishu.

So it felt important to come here and say ON JUNE 11TH, RIYU NOTICED AN AIRPLANE IN THE SKY FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Ha.

Love these boys so much.
