Since Fionn's return, he has been reunited with his playmate, a 6-year old girl who lives next door and for some reason adores playing with him. She comes over to our backyard to play with him, almost every day.

Here they are, at dusk, the other day.

Oh, Fionn looks like a boy now, not a baby! He's lucky to have such a devoted playmate in the neighborhood. And as usual, these are lovely photos.

curious: growing up in the Netherlands...

I've crewed aboard ships with probably twenty different Dutchies and I believe the fewest languages spoken by any of them was four. I'm curious how many languages he's picking up on growing up over there--how that works out, institutionally or socially.

hmm, well, we speak English at home, and he goes to a Dutch kindergarten, so I assume he will easily pick up Dutch. He will probably also pick up a bit of Russian, and I may try to actively teach him some.

thank you! and it still weirds me out that he doesn't look like a baby at all anymore!

How incredibly cute !

I love the feel of these photos.
Everything makes me weepy these days. *sigh*

aww, thanks! what is it about the feel that makes you weepy?

[boobirdsfly.livejournal.com]

The nostalgic colors... the way she is looking at Finn and just that feeling of being a child and playing and not caring what time it is. Being utterly present in the moment of play and the day stretches on and on...

WHY does he look like he's about 8yrs old?!? He's just beautiful.
