hmmn: musings from the far east(erwood)
The above photo of Kaika with his grandfather was taken at the Bon Dance festival I wrote about previously. The bottom photo is a crop from the full image. I can’t decide which one works better. You be the judge (and leave me a comment if you’ve got time).
Kaika has moved on to the I’m-going-to-try-and- turn-over-on-my-own phase. Without fail he starts turning from his position lying on his back, to the right. I wonder if this is any indication of whether he’ll be right- or left-handed. He’s also, for the first time, experimenting with sleeping on his side, as this photo taken by Naoko with the cellphone shows. I’m the kind of person that gets queasy at any thought related to the cutting off of circulation, so because he can turn himself over but can’t yet extricate his right arm out from under his body, I tend to get very paranoid that his arm is going to fall off!
Kaika has taken to sticking out his tongue a lot, who knows why. Just his latest phase I suppose. More images — again taken by Naoko — here.
