8/12

Today's subject: from a distance

During the early evening, usually before LaVor gets home from work, the boys and I will hang out in the front yard. The Lime takes turns riding his bike, scooter, or drives his cars, and Doodlebug stares at anything and everything. We wave and smile to all the people coming home from work and anxiously await until we see LaVor's car at the stoplight around the corner.

While we wait, we look for the moon, admire the clouds, and look for airplanes. Last night, we spotted one taking off from the airport and making its way across the sky.

Do you see the little white speck in the middle?

We make guesses as to where they're headed (The Lime usually says Seattle) and The Lime always asks why the plane is so small. I tell him that from a distance, big things look small but the closer you get, the bigger they are. Then we pretend to squeeze the plane with our fingers.
