Big Things Come in Small Packages

My son Lukas on his first camping trip.

He's been my mentor in finding joy in little things.

    Esos locos bajitos que se incorporan
    con los ojos abiertos de par en par,
    sin respeto al horario ni a las costumbres
    y a los que, por su bien, (dicen) que hay que domesticar.
    Niño,
    deja ya de joder con la pelota.
    Niño,
    que eso no se dice,
    que eso no se hace,
    que eso no se toca.. . . . . . . . .

    I love the point of view - the baby folds of skin around the ankles and wrists, the top of the head - these are my favorite parts of babies and you've got the viewer seeing them all first hand as there's no face to study. I can just picture my kids when they were this age and it makes me smile so much remembering how they would seriously study (and usually drool while doing so) whatever was in their hands as if it was the most amazing thing they'd ever seen. :)
