summer people

this kid reads too much too fast.

he can almost beat me at chess (not really hard to do, but, still).

he can tell a story that will last for hours.

his lake green eyes, they kill me.

this kid is really in to sneaking up and giving hugs.

he is an amazing creator using the most mundane of things.

he also has more energy than a busload of people combined.

i love his freckles now, tiny, before they grow along with his skin.

this kid no longer wears diapers.

she uses words like “handsome” and most days she asks me to teach her to read.

her lips are really that red, but her bangs are short because she likes to cut stuff.

she’s usually the first person i see when i wake up, and she’s so happy when she wakes me up that i feel happy, too.
